Fred C. Harris is honored to be known as co-author, with Brendan C. Boyd, of "the 'Spinal Tap' of baseball books" - The Great American Baseball Card Flipping, Trading And Bubblegum Book. Long out of print, Seamhead Press has just reissued this baseball classic as a Kindle book. The Great American Baseball Card Flipping, Trading And Bubblegum Book was published in 1973, and was the first book to look back at boomer kids growing up in the 1950s and 1960s, playing baseball in the street with no adult supervision. And collecting baseball cards. This New York Times Notable Book of the Year presents over 200 classic baseball cards, with outrageously funny bios, accompanied by definitive observations on trading, hoarding, collecting, flipping, "and other aberrations of the baseball card life." The book was one of the first to capture the nostalgia for that time. The phrase "Oldies But Goodies" had not yet been coined. And yes, his mother threw all his cards out. Fred has been a professional student, mass merchant, entrepreneur, and founder of two companies. He has been a frequent guest on radio and television, most notably with David Letterman, Larry King, and on NPR's Only A Game, with Bill Littlefield. Fred lives in Boston, and when not writing, he's either watching the Patriots, the Bruins or the Red Sox, out walking with his wife Gail, or playing his vintage Martin D-18 guitar. www.fredcharris.com
