WISDEN, John. Cricketers' Almanack for 1917. London: John Wisden and Co., 1917. 8° (162 x 97mm). (Light creasing to top corners.) Original brown hardback publisher's cloth gilt, printed yellow endpapers (corners a little frayed, top corners bumped). Fifty-fourth edition, described by the editor as 'rather a mournful volume', so long was the 'roll of honour' or war dead which F.S. Ashley-Cooper had compiled. Even apart from the war, writes Pardon in the preface, 'death has been very busy among cricketers'. GOOD HARDBACK COPY OF THIS SCARCE EDITION.
