I think they screwed it up when they went to hardcovers. They left out virtually all information about the previous season, statistics, box scores, ect. Each of the old media guides were nice to keep as historical records. The recent guides didn't come out until mid-January or so and the hardcover boosted the price substantially. The small paperback books MU used to sell were great. Tons of info and inexpensive. Nobody can ever leave good enough alone!

HA... No f@cking way! 

I've been begging scoopers to help me with my guide collection in a different thread, and just recently completed my first goal... EVERY guide back to the '64-'65 season!  How am I going to explain nothing in '14-'15? 

?-(

More of a recruiting tool than an information tool.

Agreed.  The absolute best were the ones in the 70s and 80s.  Compact but very well done and full of information.
