Something rather special this week from Wisden’s publisher Bloomsbury, and from Archie’s review it would seem to be a more than worthwhile purchase.
CRICKET BOOKS
This week we welcome back Rodney Ulyate, although unfortunately it would seem he was less than impressed with this unusual book of cricket fiction.
Once again it is time for Martin’s twice yearly look at forthcoming titles and, via the accompanying image, a reminder about a book any spare Christmas cash should be spent on
We were concerned that this book might be all doom and gloom, but in truth it is more in the nature of a constructive warning, and something worth pondering over the long Christmas break
Even if it is by far the oldest in the field, Wisden is certainly not the only cricket annual on the market, and this week Archie has been reading another offering from the Almanack’s publisher
As Australia start to wrest the Ashes back David looks at a book that will make more pleasant reading for England supporters than this morning’s newspapers
Year in year out Wisden is the best cricket book around, so it is hardly surprising that a compilation of the Almanack’s highlights is a five star book
Our thanks to the perceptive and eloquent Sean Riley for volunteering to review this week’s book, and for so clearly understanding what we set out to achieve
If Martin hopes that reviewing 100 books in one fell swoop will get him a lengthy vacation I fear he may be disappointed
Archie knows as much as most about the era in which Tibby Cotter played, so as he clearly rates this biography it must be a worthwhile purchase
