Bill James Handbook 

Note: We have sold out of the 2008 Bill James Handbooks. You can order from Amazon.com (paperback version only) or directly from the publisher, ActaSports.com.

Since 1990, the annual Bill James Handbooks have formed the backbone of our baseball library. For a complete, well-organized reference that includes every active player, you won't find a better book.

Even though we have access to a very extensive baseball database on our computers, we keep these books within arm's reach because many times there's no faster way to find what we're looking for.

And now you can order your copy from Diamond Mind for only $19.95, two dollars off the cover price. A spiral-bound edition of this book, which lays flat on your desk, is available for $24.95.

Among the many great features of the Bill James Handbook are:

• career batting and pitching registers for every active player, through the 2006 season, including minor-league stats for players with little big-league experience
• complete 2006 fielding statistics for every player
• expanded pitcher stats include hitting, fielding, and holding runners
• park factors and rankings
• left/right splits for all batters and pitchers
• conventional and sabermetric leader boards
• team standings, augmented by many team performance splits
• team rankings for batting, pitching and fielding

NOTE: Because of the added weight, first-class shipping rates are not available for orders including this book.
