Yorkshire County Cricket Club: Forty-seventh Annual Report, Season 1939, J. Nash (Editor) — First Edition
Publication: Leeds, County Cricket Club Committee, 1939
Formatting: 12mo, pagination unverified.
Condition Report: Very Good. The binding remains firm and secure in its original blue cloth, displaying a bright and unoxidised gilt white rose crest and lettering to the front board and spine. There is minor rubbing and bumping to the extremities, primarily at the spine ends and corners. The rear board exhibits a noticeable patch of scuffing and surface wear along the joint. Internally, the pages are crisp and remarkably clean, with the patterned endpapers fully intact and no visible foxing, presenting a well-preserved, tight copy overall.
Catalogue Note: This is the forty-seventh annual report for the Yorkshire County Cricket Club, issued for the 1939 season. This volume represents the final report published before the outbreak of the Second World War severely disrupted first-class county cricket. Bound in the publisher's classic blue cloth with gilt tooling, the book retains its original patterned endpapers.
While institutional publications of this era are frequently found in heavily worn or repaired condition, well-preserved examples from significant pre-war years hold particular appeal. Surviving copies that maintain their structural integrity are increasingly sought after by dedicated collectors of White Rose sporting history.
Blurb: A fascinating window into the world of English cricket on the eve of the Second World War, the 1939 Yorkshire County Cricket Club Annual Report offers a comprehensive historical record of the season's fixtures, player statistics, and club administration. An essential addition for dedicated followers of Yorkshire cricket and collectors of pre-war sporting history alike.

Book Condition Guide
| 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. |
