-
"The Official MCC Ashes Treasures tells the story of the greatest rivalry in sport. It comprises an authoritative narrative account of Anglo-Australian cricket from its beginnings in 1877 to the Aussie "whitewash" of 2006/07. The reportage is complemented by features on the cricketing heroes and memorable moments of the epic Test match encounters between the two nations. It also contains 20 facsimile reproductions of rare Ashes memorabilia integrated into the pages of the book. The reader can relive the dramatic events that have held cricket fans spellbound by holding and examining scorecards, match tickets, scorebooks, souvenir booklets, trading cards and items of personal correspondence, which until now have remained filed or exhibited in the MCC Museum at Lord's Cricket Ground. Many of these items are newly researched and previously unpublished."--Slipcase.
