1958 and 1959 Wisden Hardbacks – Set of Two – Decent Condition

This is a set of two original Wisden hardbacks, 1958 and 1959. Both are in Decent condition. The 95th and 96th years.

The front and rear boards on the 1958 are in good condition, along with the spine – they are strong and firm with some minor ageing to the outside edges. The boards on the 1959 are a little aged and worn. The gilt on the front of each is very good, the spine gilt on each has dulled. The boards on the 1959 sit out slightly.

Internally both are decent Wisdens – the hinges are very good on both. The pages within each are decent, some dustiness and ageing throughout.

The page block on both editions is aged and dusty.
