The bible for anyone who is really interested in cricket. I've been collecting and reading the for over 25 years and they still are a treat. Not something you read in one go but something to savour over the course of several months.

Unless something pretty fundamental happens, reviewing Wisden is something that beggars the question "Why? Why would you do that?", because it has pretty much the same structure every year (i.e. a collection of essays on cricket, a collection of records, a review of tours to England, the English season, English, and other, tours to foreign climes etc. etc.).
This book is no different to that standard formula. If you like that, or have had Wisdens before, and liked them, or collect them, or something like that, you'll like this book. It's what you're used to. If you want to get into a certain type of cricket watching and writing, this is probably going to be a good place to start. It is Wisden after all.
The one quirk is that Wisden has gone for 3 female cricketers of the year. This is probably the most eye-catching thing in the book (there have only been 2 others is 155 years of Wisden), but in the 21st Century, there are other things for old fogies to get worried about.
