ORDER THE 2012 BOUND EDITION NOW
We are now taking orders for the 2012 Bound Edition of the Newberg Report, my 13th annual book on the Texas Rangers. It's nearly 400 pages commemorating the 2011 World Series season, easily the greatest and most compelling in the history of this franchise. It's all chronicled in the book, in daily, exhaustive, emotional detail. For any Rangers fan, this book will be one to look back on for years and years.
The 2012 Bound Edition, with forewords written by Rangers Assistant GM Thad Levine and Ben Rogers and Jeff "Skin" Wade of the Ben & Skin Show on ESPN 103.3 FM, not only looks back on 2011 but also serves as a primer on what you can expect from this organization for years to come. Nowhere can you find more information and analysis on the players that the Rangers are developing as future members of the major league team and, in some scenarios, as ammunition for trades such as the ones Texas made to strengthen a World Series-bound roster the last two summers.
More than 3,000 of you on this mailing list are past customers of the Bound Edition, but for those of you who are relatively new to the Newberg Report, here is what you can expect from the book:
THE FEATURES
The book picks up right where the 2011 Bound Edition left off, taking you from October 2010 through October 2011 and containing every report I wrote in that span (including every “Trot Coffey” rumor dump), from the aftermath of the 2010 World Series all the way through the 2011 World Series, including a post-season that was certainly the most epic period of baseball in Texas Rangers franchise history. The Bound Edition is the most thorough account you'll find of the many twists and turns that the 2011 season took, and of the implications of the personnel moves that highlighted it.
The day-by-day journey that the book takes through the magical 2011 campaign, from the off-season through the World Series, makes the 2011 Bound Edition a seriously outstanding holiday gift. So, you know, buy lots of them.
Not just a complete record of the Rangers' season, the book includes a feature section comprised of an entire section of new material that won't ever appear on the website or in any e-mail deliveries. Included in that section are rankings and analysis of more than 70 Rangers prospects throughout the club's highly ranked farm system, as well as the series of my MLB.com articles from 2011 featuring 25 of the most prominent prospects in the system, making the Bound Edition a primer on the players who will keep this organization in contention for years to come.
The photographs that appear on the glossy front and back covers – taken by some of the best photographers in the business – both capture the historic heights this franchise reached in 2011 and feature some of the organization's top young players. As always, the covers are perfect for autographs. And as we always do, we will put together at least one book release party, and probably two, where you can bring your books and get them signed by Rangers players and officials.
THE PRICE
The 2012 Bound Edition is $24.95 per book, plus shipping.
Because I have to front the costs (and for obvious reasons we're printing more this year than we ever have before), if you plan to buy copies of the book, preorders are appreciated. The plan is to have the books ready for delivery in time for the holidays.
I also have all the previous editions of the Bound Edition for sale. The price breakdown is as follows:

I couldn't be more excited about this year's book, primarily because of the amazing story we all got to live through this season. I'm extremely biased but, trying to pretend to be slightly objective, I think this is the kind of book – these last two years especially – that any Rangers fan's library should include. I'm happy to answer any questions you have.
Thank you, as always, for your support of the Newberg Report.
