1.		Selected Shorts: Baseball (Selected Shorts: A Celebration of the Short Story) from Symphony Space Price: $18.48 Customer Review: What more can I say but excellent! I encourage any fan of baseball but more generally, those interested in American history and culture, to purchase this CD collection. It's insightful, humorous, and informative about America's pastime.	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


2.		Shoeless Joe from Mariner Books Price: $11.16 Customer Review: Shoeless Joe by W.P. Kinsella is a riveting book, not just about baseball, but also about a journey to meet a dream. Ray Kinsella, the main character who is a farmer and baseball lover, goes out to collect people for his majestic field. I believe that this book is well written because of its first... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


3.	[no image]	The Iowa Baseball Confederacy from Houghton Mifflin Customer Review: I am a fledgling writer. Recently I pitched one of my novels to an agent and she made the critique that elements of the idea were disparate; in other words, they wouldn't mesh well in a publisher's eyes. I wonder what her reaction would've been had I pitched a novel combining baseball, time... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


4.		The Thrill of the Grass (Penguin Short Fiction) from Penguin (Non-Classics) Price: $11.05 Customer Review: W.P. Kinsella writes fiction that is a reflection of his true love of baseball. His devotion to his topic is evident to his readers in each of his works of fiction that often seem too realistic to be fiction. Particularly in this collection of stories, the line between fact and fiction is blurry.more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

6.		The Dixon Cornbelt League and Other Baseball Stories from Bison Books Price: $11.01 Customer Review: This is the fourth W.P. Kinsella book I've read, after "Shoeless Joe", "The Iowa Baseball Confederacy", and "The Thrill of the Grass". I loved the first three. The author blends wonderful writing with mysticism, magic, and baseball to create mind-bending stories you can't forget. "The Dixon... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


7.		Baseball Fantastic from Quarry Press Customer Review: W.P. Kinsella's quote on the cover says everything: "Baseball knows no limits, and the true baseball field, the foul lines diverge forever, eventually taking in most, or all of the universe." If you're into speculative/science fiction and baseball, this book offers many treats. Included are a few of... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


8.		Magic Time (History & Heritage) from Voyageur Press Price: $19.95 Customer Review: Kinsella does it again! As in Shoeless Joe and Iowa Baseball Confederacy, he returns to the theme of Iowa, baseball, and true love. A solid triple, not quite the grand slam of previous novels, but fun. You know where it is going, and yet you enjoy the ride. Mike Houle is a great college player... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


9.		Shoeless Joe Jackson Comes to Iowa: Stories from Southern Methodist University Press Price: $9.95 Customer Review: I enjoyed this book as any Kinsella fan would. I found some of the stories true gems, but others I found somewhat uninteresting. This is not Kinsella's greatest selection, but it shows a different side of the author and some of the stories are more adult oriented content. I enjoyed the stories... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

11.	[no image]	Go the Distance: Baseball Stories from Southern Methodist University Press Price: $10.95 Customer Review: I think this was originally released as The Further Adventures of Slugger McBatt; if so, this is another great opportunity to be entertained and moved by Kinsella. I've been reading his baseball books since I was a youngster, and they rarely fail to engross me, and redefine and confirm my love of... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


12.	[no image]	Dance Me Outside: More Tales from the Ermineskin Reserve (Nonpareil Books, No 73) from David R. Godine Publisher Customer Review: My first Kinsella read. While the syntax takes a little getting used to I found that it was a quick, easy read. Usually I'm a slow reader but this took me no time in getting through. The characters are great. I've now just started THE FENCEPOST CHRONICLES also by Kinsella.	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


13.		Dance Me Outside from Oberon Pr Customer Review: This is a WP Kinsella classic! First read it years ago, and bought it to re-read the stories, which can be read over and over again. They are funny, entertaining, and a bit emotional. Get ready to laugh out loud. The stories are very easy to read and are great for all ages.

14.		Brother Frank's Gospel Hour: Stories from Southern Methodist University Press Price: $22.50 Customer Review: Brother Frank's Gospel Hour doesn't approach the level of Dance Me Outside and The Moccassin Telegraph, but Kinsella remains a storyteller nonetheless. The stories in Brother are more fantastic (one story could almost be considered a "ghost story", and another is loosely based on a Japanese fable)... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


15.	[no image]	The Fencepost Chronicles from HarperCollins Publishers Canada, Limited Customer Review: This book has short stories from a real reserve near two real towns (Wetaskiwin and Hobbema) in Alberta, Canada. The characters are amazingly funny and real. The way he writes this book it is like he spent 20 years of his life living with Native Americans! I wouldn't want to get stuck on this... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


16.	[no image]	The winter Helen dropped by: A novel from HarperCollins Publishers Customer Review: This tender story, graced with W.P. Kinsella's understated humor and compassion, is written through the eyes of a young boy. I don't really want to use the clique of 'coming-of-age', but I suppose it is in fact such a story. The author is brilliant in that he brings to us a simple tale of a boy and... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

20.	[no image]	Box Socials from Blackstone Audiobooks Price: $32.95 Customer Review: W.P. Kinsella mixes baseball with small town nostalgia too bake a cake not fit to eat in Box Socials. Kinsella's lure of a promising baseball star, Truckbox Al McClintock, leads readers into believing they are reading a book about baseball, when in fact the sport takes a back seat to the stories and... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information
