Hi,

Here with have a set of 62 Wisdens from 1949 to 2010, they are in reasonable to good condition and would suit a new collector to help start them on their way back to 1864!   The set is what you would expect from a set of Wisdens in this era and a great way to start a Wisden Collection at under £20 a book!!

They are all Original Hardbacks and from 1965 (when introduced) the books have their original dust jackets.

Some things to point out:

The books are froma  well loved set so there is the odd mark and read feel to some of the books, I have pointed out any defects below (I hope I have spotted them all), I have tried to rate the books too, the dust jackets all have light marks and small nicks to them unless stated, if not stated the hinges are strong and the lettering is bright.  if you would like to know more, please ask.
