Bookstores and Baseball: The First Inning
32 pages / full color
I’ll admit to having once been obsessed with the Boston Red
Sox and magical realism books like W.P. Kinsella’s The Iowa Baseball Confederacy & I have always been obsessed with
bookstores. David Labounty generously sent me five issues of this zine & I've just finished devouring the first one: Bookstores
and Baseball: The First Inning. Part travelogue, part perzine, Bookstores and Baseball: The First Inning
beautifully maps the journeys of David and his family as they go on zine
selling (and zine buying) tours and visit numerous bookshops and baseball
fields, including the Field of Dreams
in Iowa. David vividly narrates experiences at Quimby’s Books, The Texas Book
Festival, Wrigley Field & more. I wish I could have just one hour at
Quimby’s to browse the zine selection! This zine is a solid read and a lot of fun.
I’ll be slowly savoring the next four issues. Thank you David!
