Menu for a dinner held by The Cricketer to celebrate the launch of AA Thomson's book in 1959. This was collected by Hal Cohen, probably the leading cricket collector in the 1950s, who attended the dinner. It is signed by a number of his friends - Gerald Brodribb, Alan Ross, Jim Swanton, Rex Alston, Diana Rait Kerr, Desmond Eagar ("Eva, he did attend the dinner but we missed you" - Eva Cohen, Hal's wife), John Arlott ("To hell with hock, bibulously John Arlott"). Wonderfully personal item and a great piece of Arlottiana.
