A full set of John Wisden's Cricketers' Almanack is the Holy Grail for the cricket collector. Started in 1864 by a stocky fast bowler from Sussex, the Wisden Cricketers' Almanack is the longest-running sporting annual in the world, and the voice of cricketing authority. We always have 1000+ past copies of Wisdens in stock including most of the rare, pre-1880 editions, and hard-to-find wartime years (1916-18, 1939-44).
