Add to basketHardback. Condition: Very Good +. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good+. First Edition. This copy is in very good plus condition bound in publisher's original blue cloth covered boards with bright gilt titling to the spine and gilt decoration to the upper board. There is some typical offsetting to the endpapers. The unclipped dustwr…apper is a trifle dusty but entire. This book is for the cricket spectator only. Rex Alston's many years of looking at cricket and making the game come to life through his broadcasts on the BBC help him to offer the readers of this book a really useful guide to ways of getting more enjoyment out of the game.
