A curious piece of Victoriana for Archie this week, the intention of which seems to have become rather less clear with the passage of time.
CRICKET BOOKS
For anyone unaware of the fact tomorrow is the 1st of July, therefore time for Martin’s twice yearly look at what lies in store for us.
A fascinating subject but, not surprisingly 30 years on, David feels that Barry Richards’ life story should be looked at again.
Something of a collector’s item this week, but from Martin’s review this slim booklet sounds like a worthwhile investment.
In the interests of objectivity David, rather than our resident Lancastrian, reviews the latest release in the ACS “Lives in Cricket” series
We’re a bit late this year, but with this being a special edition of the good book, there was rather more for Archie to read than in the past.
An interesting title and, it would seem from Martin’s review, one that is well worth tracking down.
A collection of obituaries from the Daily Telegraph may seem a sombre subject on which to dwell, but Martin’s review indicates that in fact it is anything but.
This week Archie reviews a recent biography of a member of the Australian side who played in the 1912 Triangular series in England, Jimmy Mattthews.
Some books are timeless, and it is difficult to imagine that a time will come when the collection of biographical sketches that David reviews this week will seem dated.
