Sobre este artículo
UK,8vo HB+dw/dj,1st edn.NFINE/NFINE.Neat,inked, owner's name to ffe and price-clip to dw/dj.B/w photographic panels [W.G. Grace + Botham to upper panel,author portrait photograph to rear panel.]; with minimal shelf-wear and negligible creassing to edges - no nicks or tears present.Top+fore-edges generally clean, contents bright,tight and pristine.Unblemished,plain green paper-covered boards,with bright,crisp,blocked gilt letters to spine/backstrip and clean plain white endpapers - apart from mentioned owner name to ffe.UK,8vo HB+dw/dj,1st edn,3-123pp includes title page,contents list, author foreword,100 profiles and 8pp b/w photographs. The history of Somerset and Gloucestershire cricket is rich in character, eccentricity and,of course,sheer sporting talent (whatever the Test selectors have thought).This is a personal choice 'century' of portraits from the two counties: spanning the generations,the enduring whims and the varying skills.There is no obsessive dwelling on statistics,remarkable as these often are.What kind of person was Robertson-Glasgow,the gentle - and tragic - poet and humorist? What of the irascible Charlie Parker and Alf Dipper,the dour countrymen who scored so many runs for Gloucestershire? Or the larger-than-life Sammy Woods? The occupants of this book lived in different social times which shaped,in some cases, their personalities. Some were autocratic and others had a saucy indifference to authority.There were the great hitters like Gilbert Jessop and Guy Earle,the modern charmers like Viv Richards and Mike Procter. The author offers more than a riveting reference book.He takes us on a nostalgic trail - all the exhilarating way from Grace to Botham . . .
