Given that Spalding started publishing in 1876, this 1878 edition of their baseball guide is among the first ones available. The front cover of this 1878 edition is chipped but still complete. Although the spine is loose and the back cover is missing, this item is incredibly rare and in good shape. These pages contain a comprehensive rulebook with detailed information about the size of the playing field. It also offers a thorough recap of the previous league season, complete with championship results, batting data, and a scoring breakdown. This manual is a priceless addition to any library.
