Sports Mania: Recommended eBook Titles

With yesterday’s official start of the 2009-10 national basketball season, sports fans can enjoy the rare time of year when sports collide. For the next week or so, it will be nearly impossible to flip a channel without stumbling upon coverage of the World Series, national or college football, hockey or basketball. It seems only appropriate to share information on the history, biography and other sports- and recreation-themed eBook titles Gale and its partners offer to help you provide credible reference on everything from the mainstream to the extreme, and even the obscure (dutch oven cooking, anyone?).

Here are some of the best-selling, new and not-yet-published sports eBooks available through Gale Virtual Reference Library:
