BUDDY AND THE OLD PRO By John R. Tunis New York: William Morrow Company, 1955. First edition. Blue cloth with titles and cover illustration in black. Inked-out price on the upper front endpaper, lower corner tips bumped, else a very good plus copy in blue cloth; in a very good dust jacket with a creased tear to the upper rear panel, and several tiny tears to the lower rear panel. Great action illustration on the cover of the dust jacket with internal line drawings all by Jay Hyde Barnum. A decent copy of this juvenile baseball novel that rarely turns up in first edition and in collectible condition. "Buddy looks up to a Stankyish former major leaguer until he becomes the boy;s coach and begins to teach him how to cheat."--McCue.
