Compiled by Richard W. Arpi, SABR Bibliography Committee

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

B. Rotisserie or Fantasy Leagues

6. Humor and Trivia

7. Instructionals, Fitness, Rules

8. Juvenile Works

A. Fiction

B. General Works

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.
