Books By Veeck
Veeck wrote three autobiographical works, each a collaboration with journalist Ed Linn:
- Veeck As In Wreck (1962) – a straightforward autobiography
- The Hustler's Handbook (1965) – divulging his experience in operating as an outsider in major leagues
- Thirty Tons A Day (1972) – chronicling the time he spent running Suffolk Downs racetrack in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The title refers to the daily quantity of waste (horse excrement, used hay and straw, etc.) that had to be disposed of.

Famous quotes containing the word books:
“Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December,
And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.
Eagerly I wished the morrow;Mvainly I had sought to borrow
From my books surcease of sorrow—sorrow for the lost Lenore—”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
