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.
