Congrats to Marshall J. Cook on the second printing (along with minor revisions) to his most excellent baseball novel, The Year of the Buffalo, a novel of love and minor league baseball. This is the Buffalo's tenth season since the first printing and "the team" has a good season every year with consistent Amazon orders coming in every month, but even more-so during spring training and the playoffs in Sept. and Oct. There is love and drama and exciting baseball action. Bill Kinsella, author of Shoeless Joe, from which the movie Field of Dreams was made, says that the book has, "Genuinely touching moments and is fine storytelling."

"The Buff" delivers authentic, spine tingling, goose flesh inducing, baseball magic. I'm hoping that, if you know a baseball fan, you will tell them about this beauty of a book and that word of mouth praise will sell out the second printing in...what? Five years? Heck, why not be optimistic...how about five months? Five weeks? Maybe Marshall could end up on Sports Central or be interviewed by Bob Costas!
