History transvaal cricket

Author: Hayward Kidson Publisher: Transvaal Cricket Board () Edition: First Edition ISBN-10: ISBN-13: Condition: As New Binding: Hardcover with dust jacket Pages: 253  Dimensions: 29.9 x 21.4 x 2.1 cm +++ by Hayward Kidson +++ A fascinating and comprehensive account of the history of cricket in the Transvaal. "The history of Transvaal cricket is a romantic saga closely bound to the story of gold and the Witwatersrand... it is fitting and appropriate that we record the historic cricketing tapestry as it unfolded and at the same time take a look at the dusty, lusty and exciting origins of the mining camp on the Highveld of the old Transvaal which became Johannesburg and where the cricket infant grew to maturity."   A passion for books and a passion for collecting fine editions was the recipe that created the successful group of bookshops in Johannesburg called Bookdealers. The group started thirty years ago with one store in the quirky suburb of Yeoville and has grown through the years to a total of five shops, plus our online sales. Bookdealers is well-known for its collectable and used books. We also have a large variety of remaindered books sourced from around the world.  If you collect from one of our five branches there is no delivery charge. We also offer postal delivery (when available) and courier delivery, subject to a quote.
