Boundary Books Re-Launches Web Site
We have just undergone a complete re-design of the Web Site to reflect our current way of operating the business
We no longer list priced items for sale on the Web Site. All our selling is done either by direct contact with individual collectors or visitors to the Showroom or, the vast majority, by issuing regular e-Alert listings to our subscriber’s list
The new Web Site shows examples of many of the items we have sold over the years and we will have further copies of many of them. But the idea is to show the typical quality of material we specialise in so that readers can get in touch and discuss their interests.
We also list all the Publications we have made over the last 35 years. We do have copies available of some of these and again just e-mail your questions for availability, prices etc

Special Item
Captain of the Crowd
Albert Craig, Cricket and Football Rhymester
1849-1909
TONY LAUGHTON
FOREWORD BY DAVID FRITH
The MCC Cricket Library and Boundary Books are proud to announce an important new contribution to cricket, football and social history. Albert Craig, often referred to as The Surrey Poet, was a one-off. Born of illiterate parents in a remote Yorkshire community he travelled the country and became one of the most celebrated figures on the cricket and football grounds of London and the south.
“Tony Laughton has brought Albert Craig, the “Surrey Poet”, back to life . . . in this richly sociological volume with a wondrous selection of illustrations . . . heart-warming and evocative.” David Frith
Years of painstaking research have produced an unbelievably detailed account of Craig’s rise to become almost as famous as WG himself, simply by selling his printed rhymes at a penny a sheet. With his natural wit and spontaneous repartee, he was an integral part of the day’s entertainment on the cricket grounds of the Golden Age – and he was equally at home during the formative days of Arsenal football club.

Centenary Exhibition for W G Grace (1848-1915), Victor Trumper (1877-1915) & A E Stoddart (1863-1915)
