Zim - a Baseball Life
I have this book that I obtained in a trade with another GUU member quite some time ago. Great book about the late Don Zimmer. If you have genuine interest and intent to read it, I will send it to you for absolutely nothing.
That being said, if I send it to you and the next day it's on eBay, I will find you.

Re: Zim - a Baseball Life
I was the initial owner of that Zim book, and offered it in trade when Jags offered a Sparky Anderson book that he sent to me. Good to see it circulate throughout the forum.
I originally got it on www.paperbackswap.com It's a great site for building a library of sports books, or any other subjects for that matter. You list a bunch of books you have available, and you get a credit every time you mail one off. Then you can use that credit to select a book from somebody else, and they have tens of thousands available.
I got a bunch of paperbacks my sister read for her book club, and have been trading them to build a nice library of 1960s baseball books, plus some others (Ted Williams, Red Barber's book on the 1947 season, and so on.)

Hardcovers too. They all count the same. So what I do is list my sisters paperbacks, which are inexpensive to mail, and then I do what you're saying, I request hard cover books.
Recently I've gotten a Clemente biography by Rich Maraniss (however it's spelled,) Curt Flood's autobiography, Summer of '49 and October 1964 by Dave Halberstam, and a big Sporting News picture book, 100 years of Modern Baseball. All are hardcover.
If someone had a little time to spend, they could go to a garage sale, scoop up a big box of paperbacks in decent condition, offer them on that website, and gradually start adding hardcover books to build a library on virtually any topic of interest. All it costs is the postage to mail your books to the people who request them, which, media rate, is about $2.50.
