Reviews
Wisden is a source of delight for cricket lovers and the 2019 edition, edited once again by Lawrence Booth, does not disappoint. -- Vic Marks * The Guardian *
a treasure to relish * Sunday Express *
By a distance the greatest book ever published * Philip Collins, Waitrose Weekend *
There is no debate over the quality of the publication ... Fine reading * The Cricketer *
As intriguing and indispensable as ever * Evesham Observer *
Even at the age of 155, Wisden intends to keep on turning. It still sets the standard, whether it's bought as a gift, a decoration, an encyclopaedia or a huge magazine. The Wisden Almanack is all things to all men. And to all women. * Rob Smyth, ESPN *
Wisden lands on the doorstep with a joyous thud. Its daffodil-yellow cover is the signal to anticipate the delights of spring and summer and its contents are always a treasure to relish. The oldest of sporting annuals has captured the rare trick of remaining for ever young * Jim Holden, Sunday Express *
