The schedules are out. The tickets are on sale. Three feet of snow fell on the East Coast. A huge storm is predicted for the Midwest. You know what to do: plan your spring-training trip. And we are here to help.
We understand so well that we’re putting our print editions of The Complete Guide to Spring Training on sale. For the next two weeks, we’re knocking 30% of the price for Spring Training Online readers and August Publications followers. Claiming the discount is easy: Order from the August Publications website and use the coupon code JANUARY when you check out.

The discount applies to two books: The Complete Guide to Spring Training 2016 / Arizona and The Complete Guide to Spring Training 2016 / Florida.
The Complete Guide to Spring Training 2016 / Arizona covers the best of spring training in Arizona, with extensive guides to all the major-league camps, complete with, workout times, concessions highlights, seat recommendations and more. Also included: where to stay near the camps (including RV camps), what to do when not at training camp, and other areas of interest.
This book is both for the hardcore baseball fan — who goes to spring training to scout out their favorite team in depth – as well as the more casual fan who heads to spring training more in search of the perfect suntan than in search of this year’s spring phenom. While the hardcores just want to know the shortest route between their hotel and the ballpark, the casual fan knows that the richness of spring training is augmented with visits to local restaurants, shopping areas, and area attractions.
This book covers the 15 teams training at 10 spring training camps in the greater Phoenix area: Camelback Ranch-Glendale (Chicago White Sox, Los Angeles Dodgers), Goodyear Ballpark (Cincinnati Reds, Cleveland Indians), Hohokam Stadium (Oakland Athletics), Maryvale Baseball Park (Milwaukee Brewers), Peoria Stadium (San Diego Padres, Seattle Mariners), Salt River Fields (Arizona Diamondbacks, Colorado Rockies), Scottsdale Stadium (San Francisco Giants), Sloan Park (Chicago Cubs), Surprise Stadium (Kansas City Royals, Texas Rangers) and Tempe Diablo Stadium (Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim). Also covered: Phoenix Municipal Stadium, home of the Arizona State University Sun Devils.
