Hobey Baker comes to The Book Stall

SAVE THIS DATE: January 23

Hockey author Tim Rappleye returns to the Book Stall 

in Winnetka to read and sign from his latest book: 

Hobey Baker, Upon Further Review.

Decades of research has produced this account of American hockey legend and war hero Hobey Baker, the last man to die in World War I and the first player inducted into the Hall of Fame.



It is the hundredth anniversary of Baker's death, and rumors of suicide continue to trail in his wake. Rappleye uncovered forgotten letters, damning newspaper stories, and one remarkable eyewitness account of Hobey's fatal last day, solving the mystery once and for all.


Last year, Rappleye entertained a full house at the Book Stall with his rollicking tales of Boston University's hockey Wiseguys. On January 23, expect a reading with brand new history of America's greatest amateur player, the man proclaimed the "King of Hockey" by our neighbors in Canada. 

Wednesday, January 23, 6 p.m. at the Book Stall in Winnetka.
