WISDEN, [John]. Cricketers' Almanack 1942. London: J. Whitaker, 1942. 8° (161 x 100mm). Full-page illustrations. Original brown hardback publisher's cloth gilt, printed white endpapers (small crease in spine, lettering a little faded).
GOOD HARDBACK COPY. Scarce wartime edition published 'in a still-small print run' of 5000 copies. The 900 in hardback were priced at seven shillings and sixpence, compared to five shillings for those in limp cloth. Like 1941, it carried an advertisement for back numbers at between five shillings and five guineas.
