Beyond a Boundary
Hutchinson, 1963.
First edition. Original back paper covered boards lettered in gilt in pictorial dustwrapper designed by Peter Chadwick. A fine copy in a very good dustwrapper with a little wear to the spine ends and corners.
James' cricketing memoir, thought by John Arlott to be "the finest book written about the game of cricket" (Wisden 1964). It's strength is that it covers philosophy, politics and the social history of West Indian culture as a means of putting cricket in context, giving it a claim to be much more than a book on cricket and giving rise to it's most famous and oft quoted extract, "What do they know, that only cricket know?".
