About This Item
This is a first edition of The Iowa Baseball Confederacy, a 1986 novel written by the Canadian author W.P. Kinsella (1935-2016). Kinsella is best known for his novel Shoeless Joe, which became the film Field of Dreams. The Iowa Baseball Confederacy tells the story of Gideon Clark, a man on a quest. He is out to prove to the world that the indomitable Chicago Cubs traveled to Iowa in the summer of 1908 for an exhibition game against an amateur league, the Iowa Baseball Confederacy. But a simple game somehow turned into a titanic battle of more than two thousand innings, and Gideon Clark struggles to set the record straight on this infamous game that no one else believes ever happened.
310 pages.
The dust jacket is unclipped and has wear along the edges.
The book's spine is cream and has a little discoloration. It was a gift and there is an inscription on the front endpaper. But it doesn't appear that the recipient read it.
Other than that, it's perfect.
