Very disappointing revision:,

This review is from: The Complete Baseball Record & Fact Book 2006: 2006 Edition (Complete Baseball Records & Fact Book) (Paperback)
I bought the 2006 edition of this book automatically, as I have for a number of years. I am extremely disappointed with the totally revised content, as I find it much more difficult to use. While it would seem logical to group the records together as done in the new volume, it just doesn't work for me. The old layout of team info, with each team starting at the top of a page, has been junked, and the results are not pretty. Furthermore, this is now just a record book; the old "facts" sections, including a review of the preceding season and a preview of the new season, have disappeared. I'm keeping my 2005 edition and trashing the 2006. I hope Sporting News comes to their senses and arranges the 2007 edition like the 2005 and prior editions. "It wasn't broke, but they 'fixed' it anyway."

There is a lot of data; but there is no index. Be prepared to go through page after page of data in search for what you are looking for.

my boyfriend loved this book!,

This review is from: The Complete Baseball Record & Fact Book 2006: 2006 Edition (Complete Baseball Records & Fact Book) (Paperback)
I didn't read this book, I got it for my boyfriend and he absolutely loved it. If you enjoy stats you'll love it, I couldn't get him to put it down for dinner.
My only problem with it was that it was the 2006 edition, which I assumed would include stats from this past year but it only covered up to 2005. Other then that it's great.
