Hi Cricketislife.

Thewre is a wonderful secondhand bookshop in Melbourne that sells only 
cricket books.

The gentlemans name is Roger Page and at present he does not have a 
webpage bu I have called him this morning and he can be contacted by 
email on rpcricketbooks@unite.com.au

He is very helpful and is only too happy to send books overseas.

Last time I visited he had a vast array of cricket books from all eras.

If you are after specific books Roger is likely to be able to help.
