Yorkshire County Cricket Club. Eighth Annual Issue, Edited and Compiled by J. B. Wostinholm and H. H. Stones — First Edition

Publication: Sheffield, Yorkshire County Cricket Club [Printed at St. Peter's Close, Hartshead], 1900

Formatting: 12mo, variable pagination.

Condition Report: Fair. The original brown cloth boards present respectably with bright gilt tooling to the front board and central crest, though they exhibit expected shelf-wear, including rubbing to the extremities, minor bumping to the corners, and slight fraying at the spine ends. The binding remains reasonably firm with a slight lean. Internally, the text block is moderately age-toned, with some foxing to the preliminary leaves and endpapers. The grade is strictly dictated by internal faults: notably, two pages within the text block are damaged with loss. Despite this defect, it remains a solid, handleable reference copy of a fragile sporting annual.

Catalogue Note: First edition of the Eighth Annual Issue of the Yorkshire County Cricket Club yearbook, published for the 1900 season. Compiled by Club Secretary J. B. Wostinholm and Assistant Secretary H. H. Stones, these early annuals are vital primary sources for the "Golden Age" of county cricket. They record the era of Lord Hawke's captaincy and the emergence of the dominant "triumvirate" of George Hirst, Wilfred Rhodes, and Schofield Haigh.

This issue contains the comprehensive fixtures for the 1900 season, the laws of cricket, county records, member lists, and detailed match averages from the preceding 1899 championship-winning year. Early limp-cloth and cloth-bound county annuals of this period were heavily utilised, making surviving copies in any condition increasingly scarce on the open market.

An original 1900 annual for the Yorkshire County Cricket Club, capturing the statistics, fixtures, and records of one of England's most historic sporting institutions at the height of its early dominance. Edited by club secretaries J. B. Wostinholm and H. H. Stones, this scarce survivor offers a fascinating window into late-Victorian and early-Edwardian cricket history, chronicling the players and matches that defined a legendary era of the sport.

Book Condition Guide

We stock thousands of books in a wide range of conditions. To make things clear and to help you know exactly what to expect, Please refer to these condition categories to understand the condition of the book you will receive.

Condition	Description
New	A brand-new, unread and professionally handled book. Carefully preserved from publication to purchase, these books are offered in the best attainable condition. This grade applies to recently published titles that have not entered long-term storage.
As New	The book is in pristine, original condition as if just published. No signs of use or handling. The dust jacket (if present) is equally flawless. This grade applies to any book that has remained untouched in storage for years.
Fine	The book is close to As New. It remains bright and attractive, but could show minor imperfections to the boards and/or dust jacket (if present). Its pages are typically clean and unmarked.
Near Fine	The book has a number of small flaws, i.e. slight rubbing to the edges, or tiny chips or creases to the dust jacket (if present). Its pages may have faint marks, or creases that are barely perceptible — nothing that detracts from their overall condition.
Very Good	The book maintains its structural integrity, and has no major flaws such as tears to its binding or pages. It may, however, show signs of careful use, handling, or storage — small marks and creases, light foxing. Its dust jacket (if present) remains fully intact, but small tears may be present.
Good	A book that remains intact and readable with complete text pages, but shows moderate signs of wear and use to both the book and dust jacket (if present). It may have noticeable creases, nicks, or stains, and the spine likely shows fading, bumping, and rubbing. There could be writing, underlining, and other marks on some pages, though the majority will be clean and tidy.
Fair	A book with significant wear or damage. The text pages will be complete, but there may be heavy underlining, highlighting and staining throughout, and the book’s endpapers, half-title, and copyright pages could be damaged or missing. The binding could be loose, and the dust jacket (if present) may have notable scuffs or tears. These copies are usually of interest for content, signature(s) or scarcity.
Poor	A heavily worn book whose value lies in its complete and legible text. A poor book will have substantial defects — loose joints or hinges, detached covers, loose and/or missing pages, and could be heavily soiled. A poor book is also known as a reading copy, and although compromised, can hold historical or bibliographic significance.
