About Us
- Rare and Hard-to-Find Cricket Books
- Cricket Autographs and Memorabilia
- Publishers of fine Limited Edition Cricket Books
Our stock contains the highest standard of rare and unusual items for the collector. Nineteenth century cricket rarities, tour books and elusive overseas cricket annuals are typically featured. We particularly specialise in books associated with famous collectors of the past – we bought the entire collections of E W Swanton, Gerald Brodribb, David Rayvern Allen and many others – and we regularly offer items from the libraries of J W Goldman, John Arlott, G Neville Weston and others. We were privileged to sell the personal set of early Wisdens formerly belonging to A D Taylor. We also regularly feature autograph material of all types.
Since 1989 Boundary Books has been the leading publisher of deluxe Limited Edition cricket books for the collector. During that period we have produced 30 new titles most of which have sold out quickly and are now sought-after collectors items. We are proud to have published and been supported by some notable authors and cricket personalities including John Arlott, E W Swanton, David Gower, David Frith, Graham Gooch, Bill Frindall, Ian Botham, Gerald Brodribb, Sir Michael Marshall, David Rayvern Allen and G A Beldam. With these authors we have always sought to produce genuine new contributions to cricket history and literature rather than simple facsimiles of old titles.
Many titles have received widespread critical acclaim:-
- The Trailblazers by David Frith
