This annual was published over twenty years, covering the West Indies seasons between 1894-95 and 1913-14. The front wrapper is an integral part of the book and is effectively its title-page, with details of publisher and date of publication. Printed on inferior quality paper few of these annuals survive. Taylor, Catalogue of Cricket Literature, 1906, page 13: 'The early issues of this valuable annual are difficult to obtain...The first number was sold out within a few weeks of publication...' Goldman, Bibliography of Cricket, 1937: 'A complete set is very hard to obtain.' Padwick, 3677.
