Forthcoming Hockey Books

Hi all,

There may be small handful of members here who are familiar with my facebook page titled "The Hockey Library." I'm a collector of hockey books and publications, and I report on forthcoming titles on that page and on Todd Denault's "Hockey Books" group. I figure some of you may be interested in a list I've compiled for easy reference.

As always, publication dates are subject to change. If you're aware of any that I'm missing, please let me know.
