The iconic Wisden Cricketers' Almanac has been a staple of cricket enthusiasts for generations, offering insights into the greats who have graced the sport's stage. This original 1942 issue is now available for sale.
The softback cover itself is in good condition, with faded and worn wrappers on both front and rear sides. The spine is also slightly yellowed but still intact, and the rear linen wrapper has come detached from its back cover, adding a touch of authenticity to this particular item. Inside, you'll find the standard 160 pages of content, including match reports, statistics, and photographs.
The majority of the pages are clean and complete, except for the last eighty pages or so which have water marks on top corners due to age. Despite this, these pages still provide valuable information about past cricketing seasons. The book's overall condition is well-preserved, making it a great choice for collectors and historians alike.
This edition of Wisden has been carefully cataloged by Royal Mail with 48-hour tracked delivery guaranteed. With its rich history and nostalgic charm, this cricketer's almanac makes an excellent addition to any cricket library or home decor collection.
