Christmas Reading Wish List

2006 Baseball Rules Differences, 25th edition
2007 CCA Baseball Umpires Manual,

2008 What would you recommend?
The idea is to have a list to choose from the top ten items.
Strictly for NCAA and NFHS umpires and ignoring material available from pro-schools and PBUC.

Christmas Break Reading List

2008 CCA Mechanics book just came in. Will start reading it tomorrow or Saturday. Will re-join Officiating.com and order 2008 BRD next week for 2008tax purposes. 2008 NCAA rules are available for free on web. I just print out and put in a binder. Seems most other NCAA guys I have met so far do that too. Otherwise, light reading: This website and other umpiring forums, history-Band of Brothers by Ambrose, Fiction-Playing for Pizza by Grisham.
