WISDEN, John. Cricketers' Almanack. London: John Wisden & Co., 1880-81, 1884-85, 1887 and 1888. 6 volumes in 4, 8° (title of 1884 almost entirely eroded by damp, early leaves in the same vol. also ravaged by damp and probably unrestorable, all 6 volumes lacking the advertisements), old half calf (1884-1885 binding severely affected by damp, other volumes less so). Provenance: 1885 with stamp of Mitchell & Co., Manchester, on title; 1887 with stamp of Watson & Pilling, Manchester, at head of p. 1. Apart from the damage to the 1884 volume, this is a sound set; the 1884 volume is sold not subject to return. (4)
