Roger Page now has his own website and so I thought I would change this page. The scanning of his catalogue looked awful but several people did buy books from this page. I would advise all reading to control click the link below and have a look at the current catalogue.
What I thought I would do here is have a look at the October Catalogue and discuss what I might buy. Now, no bidding up the price.
Recently I have just completed my collection of “The Cricketer”. This is the premier cricket magazine of all time. Roger will have bound copies of them in stock. Take a punt a buy a volume. You will buy more. The magazine “Cricket, A weekly Record of the Game” is the other essential source for the cricket buff. These two magazines cover the period of 1880 to 2003 and are the basis of a comprehensive cricket library.
I have just bought the first 100 issues of “The Cricket Statistician.” There is lots of interesting reading in them and they are a bargain at 160 dollars.
In his anthologies item 24 (this sounds like a Chinese restaurant) The Cambridge Companion to Cricket sounds just like the book I would enjoy. I will get Roger to drop one in on Saturday and I will review it. In collectors’ items I shall buy item 152 A Springbok Down Under which is an account of the 1931/32 South African tour of Australia.
The catalogue is well worth a look. Ring Roger and get him to send it to you. It’s much better to get a hard copy rather than looking at it on a computer screen.
