The 1997 Complete Handbook of Baseball is the last one in the great series, which began in 1971. Winter always ended for me when I would spot the new edition of this indispensible baseball guide. In the 1991 edition I spotted an error and wrote a letter to Zander Hollander about it. Several months later a typewriiten (on a real typewriter not a word processor) letter arrived thanking me for writing. Snap 'em all up if you can.

Mr. Hollander's baseball annual is one I look forward to, having bought it every year since his first edition in 1971. Somehow, I lost my 1975 copy, if anyone has one to spare! His lively, knowledgeable and often humorous comments on the players, teams and issues of the game are a delight for me as a lifelong baseball fan. This is the one book I never want to miss, come springtime, and it's the one I'd recommend to any fan of any interest level. Whether you're just learning, or wanting to learn, the game.....or a fantatic who already thinks he knows everything - this one's a "must read" and one you'll refer to again and again throughout this season and for seasons to come.

This book is a great source for player stats in the baseball season of 1996. A must have for baseball fans.
