WISDEN, John (1826-1884). The Cricketer's Almanack for the year 1866, being the 3rd year of its publication, and the 30th of the Reign of Her Majesty Queen Victoria. London: John Wisden, 1866.

Third edition, with wrappers. It records the scores of matches at Lord’s, of games between the nine county sides and the wanderings of what had become three national teams, All England, United All England and United South of England. The All England Eleven typically took on local 22s or 18s, but on July 17-19 at Sheffield they triumphed over 11 of Yorkshire by as much as an innings and 255 runs. The final unnumbered page is blank but for the imprint of W.H. Crockford.

[4], 195, [1]pp. (D3-4 lightly dogeared, leaves E4 and F4 lightly creased due to paper flaw, G7-8 with some faint and insignificant spotting, final quire with top corner lightly creased and with associated soiling to final 2 leaves). Original printed buff wrappers (rebacked with some loss of left-hand printed border on front wrapper, rear wrapper with upper corner defective and repaired with associated loss of 2 letters from Wisden's ads, verso of rear wrapper with ink stain in blank area with associated tiny burn hole affecting a couple of letters in ad. on recto, some very faint and insignificant marginal creasing to both wrappers).
