    Description

    Illustrated

    Three volumes, the first two of which are in the publisher's original cloth binding, and one of which is in the the publisher's original pictorial paper wraps.

    The Wisden Cricketers' Almanack is colloquially known as the Bible of Cricket, and is an extensive reference work on the sport. It was founded in 1864 by the cricketer John Wisden. Wisden was an important cricketer who aside from his notable cricketing achievements, is best remembered for the founding of this important cricketing publication.

    This set comprises:
    Wisden Cricketers' Almanack 1950 (87th edition) edited by Hubert Preston
    Wisden Cricketers' Almanack 1951 (88th edition) edited by Hubert Preston
    Wisden Cricketers' Almanack 1963 (100th edition) edited by Norman Preston

    Twelve black-and-white plates to each almanack. Collated, complete.

    Condition

    Two works in the publisher's original cloth binding and one work in the the publisher's original pictorial limp cloth binding. Externally, the first two cloth-bound copies remain smart with just a little wear to the gilt lettering and extremities. The 1963 almanack in the limp cloth is generally smart, with a little spotting. Fading to the spine, which is warped and causing a rounding of the fore edge. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are bright and clean except for the odd spot to the fore edge.

    Very Good
