This is a STUNNING condition 1935 Hardback Wisden. The 72nd edition.

This edition comes from the Diana Rait Kerr collection. Rowan Scrope Rait Kerr was the MCC Secretary from 1936 to 1952. His daughter Diana joined him at Lord’s after WW2 to help catalogue and arrange the MCC library. She eventually became Curator of the MCC museum. During her work at Lord’s she also wrote extensively for cricket publications and co-wrote books with Ian Peebles. She was also one of the first women to be offered MCC membership.
She inherited her fathers’ Wisden collection and also built her own.

The boards are excellent, they are strong and firm and devoid of any noticeable ageing. The gilt to the front and spine is splendid. Internally this is an exceptional edition. The yellow front and rear hinges and the yellow paste-down pages are exceptional. The pages within likewise.

The page block is also excellent.

It is very rare finding a 1935 hardback in such dynamic condition.
