It is said that one can tell a lot about a man by the company he keeps and the books he reads. In that light, we offer 23 total tomes from the bookshelves of Lou Brock, 15 of which were signed by the authors or players. The Ty Cobb biography is signed to Lou from Al Stump, stating that Cobb told him to give the man that "breaks my stolen base record" a copy of the book. Other items of interest include: "The Cardinals of Cooperstown," signed on the cover by Bob Gibson, Red Schoendienst, Stan Musial, Whitey Hertzog and Brock himself, the seminal baseball book, "The Boys of Summer," signed by Roger Kahn, "That's a Winner," signed by Jack Buck and Stan Musial, and "The Clown Prince of Baseball," signed by Max Patkin. The overall condition is EX.
