This 1940 Original Hardback Wisden is one of the best that we have seen for this year.

The only drawback is that the book is an ex-reference library copy but the only indications of this are a small stamp to the front of page 3 (see photograph) and the odd circular reference library stamp of which there are probably about a dozen throughout the book (see photograph).  Reference library copies are normally in far better condition than ex public library copies - they have not been removed from the library at any stage and quite often it would appear that they have had minimal handling throughout the years as is the case here.

The front and rear boards are in excellent condition and the gilt is bright to the front board.  

The spine is once again in excellent condition with the gilt bright.

The front and rear hinges are sturdy and strong and the contents are complete, original and, save for the odd tiny library stamp, in absolutely excellent condition.

A really excellent copy.
