"Signed
softcover book reads "Best Wishes Tom Kelly" on immediate title page.
This little gem of local sporting history is sought-after and a bit
difficult to get hold of.
The contents include An appraisal of local cricket, reminisces and
anecdotes and chapters on each of the following: Mudeford
Cricket Club; Culmore and De Zoete Cups; Highcliffe Cricket Club; Club and County;
Bransgore Cricket Club; West Hants Water
CO.Cricket
Club;
Somerford Clubs; Christchurch Cricket Club; The Hurn Clubs;
Christchurch Sporting Club. As well as authoritative text, there is a
good selection of photographs and diagrams to compliment this, and for
anyone interrested in the local history aspect, the pages are
interspersed with contemporary ads of local firms etc. I see no date
(there is no apparent publishing/printing info) but I am
guessing early 1980s.
It would seem this book is self-published. It is unpaginated, though
probably between 160 to 200 pages. The binding is a little skew-wiff,
very very minor, but wise to let you know. The card covers/wraps are a
little larger than the textblock, so this has taken a little curling
and soft creasing to edges. Overall condition with stated is VERY GOOD."

Like most of our shopping habits these days, rather than spend the time
trawling around bookshops and wasting valuable time, you will buy
this book
over the internet.Right now, most people now have a website with
books
for sale, or sell their books via ebay or Amazon. Both these 'venues'
are well established, however there is fee structure which has the
effect of pushing prices up - i.e. the sellers have to recover their
listing fees. For some internet buyers, the fact that there is an
alternative to ebay and amazon is beginning to click. Right now
you are likely to pay less at ebid as
the seller
doesn't need to
load the cost of post and packing to recover any listing fees
or final value fees So by now you are wondering where to
buy this book on ebid. Now I can direct you to the right link ebid link one This is where you can buy the book
ebid link two This is the seller's online shop
