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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCatalogue Note:\u003c\/b\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003eThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003eAn 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.
