Wisden Cricketers’ Almanack, often referred to simply as Wisden or colloquially as ‘the bible of Cricket’ is by far the best known reference book concerned with the sport of cricket and is one of the most famous and long running sports reference books published in the UK. It was founded in 1864 by the English cricketer John Wisden (1826-1884) as a competitor to Lillywhite’s Guide to Cricketers (see lot 811). Its annual publication has continued uninterrupted to the present day, including through the First and Second World War periods. The sixth edition was the first published under its current title; the first five were published as The Cricketer’s Almanack, with the apostrophe before the ‘s’. It has had only 15 editors in over 140 years, including Sydney Pardon for 35 editions (1891 to 1925) and Norman Preston for 29 editions (1952 to 1980). Matthew Engel is the current editor although Scyld Berry edited 2008 while Engel takes a sabbatical. Wisden has always been a small-paged but increasingly a very thick book (over 1500 pages in modern editions). The distinctive bright yellow cover has been carried since the 75th edition in 1938. In previous years, covers varied between yellow, buff and salmon pink. The 75th edition was the first to display the famous woodcut of two Victorian cricketers by Eric Ravilious on its cover. In 2003 the woodcut gave way to photographic portraits of a contemporary cricketer. In 2006 and 2007, a larger format edition has been published on an experimental basis. Wisden was acquired and published by Robert Maxwell’s publishing conglomerate, Macdonald, in the 1970s. Sir Paul Getty bought the company, John Wisden & Co, in 1993. They are now highly desirable collectors’ items. In May 2007 Graham Budd Auctions set a world record auction price by selling a collection from first year of issue for £120000. This lot represents another rare opportunity to instantly acquire a collection in its entirety.
