/ Spalding also published an identical copy of the 1885, 1886, 1888, and 1889 Wright & Ditson guides. In 1890, Spalding took over publication of the Wright & Ditson Official Foot-Ball Rules Guide and evolved it into a comprehensive annual football reference for the next several decades. From 1906-1918, 1920-25, and 1929-32, Spalding published various regional editions of its football guides, which often differ significantly in coverage - though the extent to which they differ varies, depending on the year of issue. Begining in 1921, with the origin of the NFL, Spalding dropped any scant coverage of the professional game and renamed the publication to the Official Intercollegiate Football Guide.

/ There is many a spectator who goes to a football game in blissful ignorance, not only of the higher technique of the sport, but of the simple rudiments of the game, and his or her pleasure might be greatly enhanced by attentive reading of the manners and methods of this so popular autumn sport. This year some such preliminary preparation appeals not only to the person who is going for his first time, but, in a measure, to a great many others who have some familiarity with the sport as it used to be.

/ Begining in 1921, with the origin of the NFL, the Spalding guide renamed itself the Official Intercollegiate Football Guide. Spalding published various regional editions of its football guides, which often differ significantly in coverage - though the extent to which they differ varies, depending on the year of issue. In general, the Eastern editions emphasize developments in New York and New England, the Middle Atlantic states, and the Southeast, while the Western editions emphasize developments in the rest of the country, including the Midwest. Pacific Coast editions were published in 1923-25 and 1930-32. Coverage is never limited to the region of emphasis, however; there is a great deal of overlap.
