Mike Brearley – The Return Of The Ashes [with] The Ashes Retained – First Editions
£95.00
First editions, first printings. Published by Pelham Books and Hodder and Stoughton in London, 1978-9. These are near fine copies. The dust wrappers have some slight bumping at the corners and rubbing at the spine tips. Neither have been price clipped and show the £5.50 and £5.95 net prices respectively. The boards are free from notable chips and marks, with slight bumping again at the corners and spine tips. Each have a previous owner’s signature in the same hand present. In ‘The Ashes Retained’, it is signed ‘Best wishes, [xxxx], Lords ‘79’ and in ‘The Return of the Ashes’, ‘C’mas 1978’ in blue ink. Both sets of text blocks are bright and white, without foxing. Overall, this is a near fine pair.
Two cricket-based biographies from legendary player Mike Brearley.
