While not many books have been written about our beloved, beleaguered Seals, there are definitely some great books out there with chapters, interviews, and blurbs revolving around the Seals and their descendants from Cleveland.  As I continue to read through my ever-growing library of hockey books at home, I’ll likely come across some other titles books for this list, but if anyone knows of any books that significantly mention the Seals, and that are not on this list, shoot me a message and I’ll be sure to add them.
