We do like the ACS Lives in Cricket series here, as it demonstrates time after time that the greatness of its subject is not a pre-requisite for an interesting biography
CRICKET BOOKS
Our run of quality titles continues this week with a new book from Australia, which has also just been released in the UK.
It has been an excellent few months for new books, and this week Martin has been reading the most original cricket book that has been published in years
I believe this book has appeared in an edition of as many as five hundred copies, so collecting badges with a cricketing theme can’t be that obscure a hobby
This week we have our twelfth five star book, and the fourth from the same small independent publisher, Fairfield Books. There is also an extract in the Features section
This week we have a guest review from Gulu Ezekiel, who has been reading the latest book from a man whose writings were doubtless part of the reason for his taking up journalism as a career
One of cricket’s traditions is that all the game’s institutions have to have their histories chronicled in book form. This week David reviews the story of Test Match Special
Who would have thought it? Our man Archie thoroughly enjoying a book as contemporary as it is possible to get.
Something a little different this week, but according to Martin an excellent addition to the literature of the game.
Coffee table books on any subject have a tendency to be disappointing, so it seems that is not the right category in which to place the latest book to bear the MCC logo.
