The art of cricket has been a cornerstone of English culture for centuries, and the Wisden Cricketers’ Almanac has been a benchmark of excellence ever since its inception in 1864. This particular edition is an original hardback publication from 1947, featuring Bob Appleyard's signature to the front pastedown, making it a truly unique find.
This crisp and clean almanac measures [insert dimensions] inches square, with gilt titles that have developed a subtle patina over time. The boards are tidy and in excellent condition, although the spine may be slightly weak, betraying its age and the rough handling it has endured. Despite this, the contents remain remarkably well-preserved, complete with unmarked pages and no signs of wear or tear.
The front and rear covers feature a typical Wisden design, while the gilt edges add a touch of luxury to the overall appearance. A nice item for any cricket enthusiast looking to complete their collection or as a gift for a fellow fan.
