About This Item
Cassell and Company, 1956. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Fair. Signed. Signed by the author, Peter May, along with four other famous English cricketers of the 1950s; Denis Compton, Brian Statham, Godfrey Evans, and Trevor Bailey on the title page. The dust jacket is shelf rubbed and worn, with creasing and chipping along the edges, particularly on the spine, where the top inch and bottom inch and a half are missing, obscuring the title slightly. There is also a small chip out of the back bottom corner. Aside from this, the jacket is intact and bright. The boards are edge worn but sturdy. Internally, there is a previous owner's inscription on the front end page, and the text on the title page has been underlined in ink, but there are no other markings or inscriptions, and the pages within are neat, legible and complete. Tightly bound and presents well in cellophane. JK. Our orders are shipped using tracked courier delivery services.
