AYRES ALMANACKS
These hardback annuals ran from 1908 to 1938 and were edited by A Wallis Myers. They give a very comprehensive review of the previous season and there is much interesting editorial matter as well as player biographies together with their home addresses! The spine is covered with a thin cloth and is very often heavily worn. Hence the Almanacs are difficult to find in very good condition, as the boards tend to detach. The following are all in at least Good condition unless otherwise stated.
1925; Spine covering flaking, front board detached, adhesion marks to edges of boards and spine £35.00 (approx $59.50)  SOLD OUT
1926; Spine covering very worn, rear board detached, old tape repair to inside of front board £45.00 (approx $76.50)  SOLD OUT
