WISDEN, John. Cricketers’ Almanack for 1930 [- 1939 ], edited by C. Stewart Caine, Sydney J. Southerton and Wilfrid H. Brookes. London: John Wisden and Co., 1930-1939. 10 volumes, 8°. 1933 with 2 plates, 1938-1939 with numerous illustrations, some full-page, other volumes with one plate. Pp. 9-24 of 1938 unopened. (1938-39 without the 8pp. of advertisements called for at end.) Original publisher’s hardback cloth gilt, printed yellow endpapers (1930-31, 1936 with slightly crinkled spines, 1933-39 with gilt lettering tarnished, 1936 dust soiled, some generally light rubbing to extremities, a few corners knocked, bookplate on front pastedown advertisement). Provenance : Neville Hind (signature in 1931-32, dated to year of publication). A COMPLETE RUN OF THE 1930’S IN ORIGINAL HARDBACK . Rice and Renshaw note that between 1933 and 1936 ‘the lettering changed from gold to copper, resulting in faded gilt to the cover and spine’ (p. 345). The price for a hardback had by now risen to 8/- (dropped to 7/6d in 1938-39) and a paperback to 5/- (in 1938 paper wrappers were replaced by limp yellow cloth). As Hobbs dominates the 20's, so the name Bradman spells permanent danger for England in the 30's. 1931 records his first tour of England. The 1932-33 Test series creates a new word ‘Bodlyline’, and makes the 1934 edition especially sought after.
