Collection of five different editions of the Spalding Base Ball Guide from 1902 1904 1909 1912 and 1915. The Base Ball Guides are simultaneously beautiful pieces of memorabilia and informative research tools. Each exhibits varying degrees of wear with creases on the cover art edge and spine wear and small bits of paper loss at the spine. Conversely each book is sturdy and the binding strong; reading through the books does not risk doing damage. Five wonderful pieces of baseball history.
