LILLYWHITE'S CRICKETERS' COMPANION (FULL SET)

A complete set from 1865 to 1885, 21 editions bound separately. Known as the "Green Lilly", it succeeded Frederick Lillywhite's Guides, and contains a wealth of statistcial information for the cricket student.

Each bound in green cloth boards with gilt titles to spine. All have their original wrappers (front and back) apart from the 1870 edition (26th) which is bound without wrappers. The wrappers to the 1875 edition are trimmed to edges. One or two of the books are more heavily trimmed to the edges, particularly the 1872, but no text is lost. These books were once part of the collection of Joe Goldman and were sold in the famous sale of his collection in 1966 as lot 143. Each book has his bookplate inside. There is some light staining to some of the boards but the contents are excellent. A superb set of this collectable annual, with a distinguished provenance. [Padwick, 1088]
