Wisden Cricketers' Almanack

edit

Published since 1864 and known throughout the world of cricket as 'the Bible of Cricket', Wisden Cricketers' Almanack is an annually published cricket reference book detailing cricket throughout the world in the year prior to which the issue was published (i.e. 1970 Wisden covers cricket in 1969). It is a very good resource for major cricket events and obituaries. Much of Wisden has not been digitised - though some of its content can be found on ESPNcricinfo's website at https://www.espncricinfo.com/wisdenalmanack/content/story/almanack - so the below section of The Bookshelf is best used as a reference guide for articles; any information you require from a specific issue would be best enquired from at the project talk page, where many project members have access to hard copies.
