International Cricket. The Australian Cricket Team in England, 1934
[Sydney], Australian Broadcasting Commission, 1934.
Small oblong octavo (135 × 160 mm), 52 pages (including the cover) with vignette portraits of all the players and four field placings diagrams.
Saddle-stapled pictorial title-wrappers; covers expertly strengthened about the staples; vertical crease throughout (where previously folded); rear cover and one opening a little soiled; a few other signs of age and use; a very good copy.
The first of the acclaimed ABC cricket tour booklets, and very rare indeed (Padwick 5057-2). This copy has pencilled ownership details on the inside front cover. Interestingly, they are apparently of a young girl: 'Name - Marion Cheek | Adress [sic] - 61 Davenport Tce, Wayville'.
