‘Feltham’s Cricketer for 1877’ and ‘... for 1878’. First and second (only) years of issue. Edited by George H. West. London 1877 & 1878. The two issues bound together as one volume in green cloth boards, gilt title to spine. Original red stiffened card wrappers to both issues retained. The 1877 with frontispiece engraving of Richard Daft, bookplate and stamp of M.C.C. library to original inside front cover. The 1878 with frontispiece engraving of Henry Jupp. Bookplate of A.E. Winder to inside front cover who, it is believed, acquired the book from John Arlott. Padwick 1073.
