The Jubilee Book of Cricket is a classic work on Cricket by Prince K.S. Ranjitsinhji [http://content-uk.cricinfo.com/england/content/image/182538.html] . 'Ranji' was one of the leading batsmen of his day, playing for Sussex and England. It was entitled for the diamond jubilee of Queen Victoria in 1897 and dedicated "by her gracious permission to Her Majesty The Queen Empress." The book covers topics such as playing skills and public school, university and county cricket and illustrated with drawings and numerous photographs, including pictures of his contemporaries such as C.B. Fry (who wrote a considerable portion of the book for his friend) [John Arlott, "Arlott on Cricket", Fontana Paperbacks edition, 1985, p171.] and W.G. Grace. It is recognised as a classic treatise on the game.
