About Wisdens.org

I have been collecting Wisdens for a while now and in 2005 set up this Website to pass on my Wisden experiences, this site was the first ever created on the internet to explain about Wisdens to the masses and it is regularly updated with valuable statistics to help every Wisden collector when needed, to enhance their set. This site includes a popular discussion forum (wisdenclub.com) which has kept me entertained since '05. Over time we were offered Wisdens from members and also people asked if we had any spares to fill gaps in their sets. This led to our online Wisden Catalogue and this evolved into our sister site wisdenauction.com (see 2013 Wisden, pages 50/51), we improved the look and feel of this site in August 2013, Happy Collecting, Chris Ridler, Wisden Collector.

1938's Condition Comments

4 comments

	The new-style hardback has blank pages at the front and the rear which at first glance make it look like a rebind. The spine gilt tends to be poor. Paper wrappers are replaced by linen cloth.
	The linen editions tend to bow to the spine. The 1938 linen was issued with a red paper band around it and it usually perished. Copies with the band sell for more,
	If you have any comments to add regarding the 1938 Wisden, please contact us on wisdens@cridler.com and we will add them
	My 1938 Wisden, as pictured first, is an Original Hardback Wisden, it is in very good condition. Purchased in 2000s for £500 (Original Linen also shown from a book sold on WisdenAuction)
