An Introduction to CBP
CBP is a quarterly publication of the SABR Bibliography Committee. Its purpose is to list all the baseball
related publications published during each quarter and each calendar year. Publications are grouped into the following twelve broad categories:
1. Anthologies, Book Reviews,
Essays
2. Biographies,
Autobiographies, Personal Accounts
3. Adult Fiction and
Poetry
4. History, Economics, General
Works
5. Hobby
A. Card and
Memorabilia Collecting

C. Biography
9. Statistics,
Reference, Annual Works
10. Newsletters, Magazines,
Newspapers
11. Movies, Videos, Computer
Software
12. Articles (from non-sport
magazines)
Although some publications may belong in
more than one of these categories, they are only listed once in their
most obvious (at least to the compiler) category. Entries are
numbered and run consecutively through each issue. Each entry
contains the following information (or as much as is known):
Author(s). Title. Publisher. Address
& Phone number of publisher if a small press or self-published.
Number of pages. Whether it contains photographs, index,
bibliography, notes, chronology, statististics, etc. Price. Paperback
(p) or hardcover (h). ISBN or ISSN number. If a reprint, publisher
and date of previous editions and occasionally comments on the
publications.
I make no claim to have listed all
publications in any category. Please direct your additions,
criticisms, or comments to the editor, Rich Arpi, 2209 Skillman Avenue East, # 16, North St. Paul, Minnesota 55109-3996. Your help will make CBP a better and
more comprehensive bibliography.
