Great source for news about the baseball book publishing business. Ron Kaplan is very timely and entertaining. I check the blog about three to four times per week and there are always several new posts. This is a valuable resource for baseball fans who love to read.

My baseball bookshelf has been revolutionized and I am aware of so many more related baseball web sites. No words can properly thank Ron for all his hard work and effort!!
Ron Kaplan's Baseball Bookshelf delivers everything baseball. From book reviews to breaking news--you name it, it's here. I have RKBB on my Favorite Links because I find it invaluable for keeping tabs on what's going on in baseball. Despite the "bookshelf" label, this site is so much more than an assemblage of book titles or website hyperlinks. LOVE this site!. . .BeesGal (The Sporkball Journals), Salt Lake City, UT
