Finished reading Rhythm and Swing by Sir Richard Hadlee today, while it was a good read it made me realise how much better books are if they are written after the player has retired and has a bit of time to look back at his career in a retrospective way. Also realised how obsessed Hadlee was with his statistics and numbers, always thriving to improve his record.

Good lil second hand bookstore here in Canberra. Both are in paperback, and are rather aged and a bit worn, but not torn or damaged.

I don't know, but will look next time I go. Frankly, I'd be surprised if the owner has a computer!

I am interested because you can, at times pick up some great rare books at these second hand outlets.

I'd ask Archie - I know he picks over the same places I go, and his library is massive - he might have some details to hand...

I imagine it is Cantys?

They have no email or web site. There is one called Winchbooks, which is just outside of Canberra and they have a lot of cricket books www.winchbooks.com.au

Also this place has a lot of cricket books but are a little pricey www.berkelouw.com.au

The best place in Aust is Roger Page cricket books in Melbourne but he does not have a web site, but can locate almost any book that you want
