"Today's selection for bookshop day is one of the earliest books on cricket, "The Cricket Field", by Rev James Pycroft, printed in 1851.

Presenting the sport as a noble sport of gentlemen, Pycroft describes the history of the game, as well as techniques and tactics for good play."

There are four interesting photos.

With very best wishes,
Alan
