Carr's Illustrated Dictionary of Extra-Ordinary Cricketers

Quartet Books, who issued this collection of all Carr's entries on extra-ordinary cricketers, had previously published reprints of three of Carr's novels, probably starting with The Harpole Report in 1973. They issued a reprint of A Day in Summer also in 1973, and then A Season in Sinji in 1976.
