Total Baseball editions
- tables of Contents

See an Introduction to TB editions or an illustration of the changing statistical lines in the Player Register and Pitcher Register.

Here is the table of contents, Total Baseball edition 6 (1999), except author firstnames and page numbers. Marks(x) in the left margin represent the contents of edition 3 (TB3, 1993). The immediate purpose is for reference in discussion of how to provide a useful guide to all editions.

The key is that "x" represents one article in TB3.
Key:
x [space] = TB3, not TB6 (xxxxx represents five such articles)
x [title] = TB3 and TB6, under one title (maybe change in authors, pages)
* [title] = TB3 and TB6, same scope under two titles (maybe big changes)
  [title] = TB6, not TB3
