The Encyclopedia Of Lawn Tennis

The Encyclopedia Of Lawn Tennis (1958) by Maurice Brady – Crappy Old Books Edition

Serve up some vintage sporting knowledge with The Encyclopedia Of Lawn Tennis (1958) by Maurice Brady, published by Robert Hale. This delightfully dusty tome captures the golden age of grass-court glory, back when tennis whites were mandatory and wooden rackets ruled the day. Packed with charmingly outdated facts, player profiles, and insights from an era when Björn Borg was still in short trousers (or not even born), it’s a must-have for collectors, tennis nostalgists, and anyone who enjoys their history with a whiff of linseed oil and grass stains.

Offered with all the quirks you’d expect from Crappy Old Books — perhaps a foxed page here, a slightly questionable spine there — but full of character and perfect for your bookshelf or eccentric uncle. Game, set, match!

Very slight warping to boards meaning the top right part is not as closed as the middle, but its barely noticable. Good strong binding all round.
