It seems somewhat surreal to announce this but…
My book, Cooperstown’s Back Door: A History of Negro Leaguers in the Baseball Hall of Fame, is now available for pre-order. You can find it at the McFarland Books site as well as Barnes & Noble. Here are the links:
I will not be providing the link to the Thrift Books listing for it because, despite the name, it’s charging $12 more than McFarland and Barnes & Noble are. I’m all in favor of getting paid for my work, but I don’t want to gouge anyone in the process.
No listing on Amazon yet, perhaps because there are trying to figure out how to list it with the many, many Paul Whites who already have books on that site. There’s even a Paul D. White who is apparently a public school teacher with a heart of gold who is saving kids from the clutches of drug use and broken homes by teaching Bible morals.
That ain’t me. Such is the curse of having a common name.
Anyway, here’s another shot of the cover:
I don’t have any further official word on when it will actually be published, but the Barnes & Noble listing says February of next year. That’s news to me, but I have no complaints with the timeline. As I get more information on that, or anything else related to the release, I will be posting updates here.
