About This Item

Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1982. First printing. Hardcover. Fine/near fine. Octavo, 265 pages, clothbacked boards, slight mark on fore-edge, upper right corner of dj nicked at fold.

Voted the second-best baseball novel by GoodReads. It was published by winning Houghton Mifflin's annual Literary Award. It was made into the acclaimed film, "Field of Dreams".

Synopsis

More than the inspiration for the beloved film Field of Dreams , Shoeless Joe is a mythical novel about “dreams, magic, life, and what is quintessentially American” ( Philadelphia Inquirer ).   “If you build it, he will come.” These mysterious words, spoken by an Iowa baseball announcer, inspire Ray Kinsella to carve a baseball diamond in his cornfield in honor of his hero, the baseball legend Shoeless Joe Jackson. What follows is both a rich, nostalgic look at one of our most cherished national pastimes and a remarkable story about fathers and sons, love and family, and the inimitable joy of finding your way home.

About Thomas J. Joyce And Company

Joyce And Company has been in business as a professional rare bookseller and appraiser since 1975. Owner Thomas Joyce was the regular book appraiser on Home & Garden TV\'s \"The Appraisal Fair\\\" program, on international broadcasts. Thomas Joyce was the co-discoverer of George Washington's personal copy of William Leybourn's 1679 edition of THE COMPLEAT SURVEYOR, from which young Washington learned some of his surveying skills at age 16. The book had vanished for nearly a century until its re-discovery in 2017. It is now back at Mt. Vernon.
