Years ago when I knew less than nothing about sporting books and was trying to build my library I was lucky enough to receive an offer to subscribe to a series called The 50 Greatest Books of the Derrydale Press. I received a book a month at around $35 each; very nice reprint editions and very affordable. I don't know if they really are the 50 greatest, but I have really enjoyed them and they introduced me to some wonderful writers - Spiller, Buckingham, Gordon Grand, Edmund Ware Smith, Gene Connett, etc. I only wish there had been more books in the series! You can still pick them up occasionally on ABE books, ebay, etc.
