From the dust jacket: "Until now there has been no comprehensive guide to cricket collecting, but THE WISDEN BOOK OF CRICKET MEMORABILIA is designed to fill that gap by detailing, through historical and anecdotal background and by market prices, all aspects of the game, which has such a hold on the English consciousness This book embraces the 'classics' of the field and looks particularly at modern and lesser known material. Thus, while paintings, prints and ceramics featuring W.G. Grace are to be found in its pages, so also are gramophone records, audio and video cassettes, computer games -- and even a batman's protective box.". First Edition. Hardcover. New/New. 328pp. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping.

"David Foot has subtitled Harold Gimbett 'Tormented Genius of Cricket' and his biography justifies it.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. A large, light grey cloth, hardback book with gilt title impressions on the spine. Dust jacket included, not price clipped. The book is in very good condition, normal wear and marks apply consistent with use and age. Tiny shade of fading around edges…. 144 pages, all intact, all pages, text and illustrations are in really good, clean, readable order. Its a large book therefore postage may increase from listed price depending on final destination. Frontispiece: John Corbet Anderson. In the garden of his Croydon home the year before his death. First published 1990, first edition. Set in Linotron Sabon by Rowland Phototypesetting Ltd, Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk. Originated, printed and bound by C.S. Graphics Pte Ltd Singapore. " Sketches at Lord's concentrates exclusively on the cricket lithographs of the Victorian Scholar and artist, John Corbet Anderson. These drawings, although neither large in number nor main focus of Anderson's life and work, hold a unique place in cricketing history. Drawn in the middle years of the nineteenth century, they depict the great names in the game immediately prior to the introduction of photography. In turn the text looks at Anderson, the very essence of sober and industrious Victorian man, the illustrations, with details of publications dates and original sizes, and the cricketeers, the band of contemporary players ranging from Martingell to Mynn and from Parr to Pilch. In addition the book contains important background information about the printers and publishers of the lithographs and a number of contemporary illustrations which relate to subjects in Anderson's work. But pride of place must go to the fine reproductions of the fifty odd lithographs which represent the pick of the cricketing art of John Corbet Anderson.

Final charges may var…y depending on size and weight. "David Foot has subtitled Harold Gimblett "Tormented Genius of Cricket" and his biography justifies it. This is no cosy recital of runs or wickets, of comfortable success; but of the mental agony of one man who, despite his outstanding cricket gifts, never gained the satisfaction they seemed to offer. Mr Foot is an experienced journalist; and, just as this is not a comfortable book, neither is it a sentimental one. In a way it is an autobiography, for the man recorded much of his agony and indecision on tapes. There is no other book like it in cricket literature; no one else has ever gone - or honestly attempted to go - down into the pit with a cricketer. Because it is so honest, because it has a tragic and not a happy ending, this may never be a "popular" book; but it is fine, compassionate and wise. Mr Foot deserves the admiration and thanks of all who care for human truth in a game which does not always face facts." - John Arlott, Wisden Cricketers' Almanack 1983.
