Hi, This lot is an 1897 Original Paperback Wisden. It is in Good Condition due to the spine paper. Other than the spine it is in very nice condition. This book has had no restoration. The spine paper is missing but due to the string used back in the late 1800s the book is still tightly bound, the covers are nice just worn at the edges , there is about an inch of detachment at the base of the spine/front cover. Internally it is a very nice and clean , even around the photoplate the book has minimal spotting. A very hard year to find in paperback. 100% original, shame about the spine paper but a great gap filler as you do not find many 1897 paperbacks in original form. Please see the large pictures. More available on request. Buy-it-now. More Photos on request. Payment: Card, Paypal, Cheque or BACS Postage: £9 which covers Special delivery fully insured and Jiffy Bag. Happy Collecting.
