David, that is precisely what I was saying above. There was Harper's Weekly that were giant sized (size of a newpaper) and they produced a completely different publication entitled Harper's Monthly Magazine that are MUCH smaller (the size of a hard-backed book).
"Harper's Weekly" was the one with the Baseball woodcuts and are pretty highly collected.
"Harper's Monthly Magazine" was largely literary in nature (it had excerpts of books, etc.) and unfortunately it never included any baseball material and are not very widely collected and are fairly cheap to buy today (nice copies will run $10-15 each, generally two bound books make up a years worth of issues.
Again, two totally different publications by the same publishers, I think this is the confusing part here.
