Best books about the Reds?

[Big Klu]

Our Game by Charles Alexander and Lawrence Ritter's magnificent Glory of Their Times often include or allude to the Reds but aren't strictly Reds-centric, still I d consider both must books for fans of any team.

I was a student in Charles Alexander's "History of Baseball" course at Ohio University in 1991. It was an outstanding class!

I should probably pick up that book.

Cincinnati Reds - Lee Allen (1948)

Pennant Race - Jim Brosnan

I picked up a signed copy od Pennant Race a few years ago to resell, but haven't had any luck with that. It's a rear read as was his other book, but its title is alluding me.
