From a book review on Amazon:

Award-winning journalist (and ball cap collector) James Lilliefors presents Ball Cap Nation: A Journey Through the World of America’s National Hat, an amazing history of the baseball cap accessible to readers of all backgrounds, from sports enthusiasts to serious-minded scholars of fashion and headwear. Chapters cover the origin of the ball cap, how caps are made complete with a tour of a factory, the hobby of cap collection (which is practiced by such notable individuals as major league pitcher David Wells) and how to get started in it, the etiquette of where and where not to wear one’s ball cap, the best method for cleaning and preserving one’s caps, and much more. A “must-read” for anyone who loves or is intrigued by the classic icon of Americana that is baseball cap!
