The Jubilee Book of Cricket by Prince K.S. Ranjitsinhji. For a book over 100 years old the cover is in fantastic condition. The only noticeable yellowing is isolated to inside front and back cover spreads. Inside front cover is signed, presumably by a WWI fighter stationed in England in 1919. The book was entitled for the diamond jubilee of Queen Victoria in 1897 and dedicated “by her gracious permission to Her Majesty The Queen Empress.” The book covers topics such as playing skills and public school, university and county cricket and illustrated with drawings and numerous photographs, including pictures of his contemporaries such as C.B. Fry (who wrote a considerable portion of the book for his friend) and W.G. Grace. It is recognized as a classic treatise on the game. To see a listing of the contents, Click Here.
