Run of the 'Official Organ of the Croquet Association' from the Volume XXXVI Number 1 of 1939 to Issue number 164 of December 1981.
1st editions, folio format. Vols. Black and white photographs and illustrations. Advertisments to paginated leaves and preliminaries, all covers, title sheets bound in. All bound in half blue-green morocco with red title labels, gilt embossed titles to spines. Volume XXXVI, No. 22 (total issue no. 901) of September 9th, 1939 was the last to have a volume number. Between May 25th 1940 and November 24th, 1945 were issued only 7 editions which bore 'War Emergency Numbers' the last being VJ (7). Following the end of the war the editions were numbered by issues per year until December 1953 at which stage a name change was enacted, the journal simplifying its title to 'Croquet' and numbered solely in sequential issues from Number 1 until the end of this run at 164. All volumes are complete (with some numbers in the 1939-1949 volume being facsimile reprints) and nice and square bearing only occasional handling marks and rubbed edges or foxing to fore-edges but being largely bright and clean. New endpapers to all but a few volumes. Light shelf wear present to all bindings and all in all a very good condition run.
