Paperback. Etat : Good. There are many cricket books, and they are all the same. 'Don't Tell Goochi e', autobiographical insights of nights on the tiles in Delhi with Lambie a nd the boys; 'Fruit cake days', a celebrated humourist recalls 'ball' - rel ated banter of yore; and Wisden, a deadly weapon when combined with a therm os flask. Rain Men is different. Like the moment the genius of Richie Benau d first revealed itself to you, it is a cricketing epiphany, a landmark in the literature of the game. Shining the light meter of reason into cricket's incomparable madness, Marcus Berkmann illuminates all the obsessions and disappointments that the dedicated fan and pathologically hopeful clubman suffers year after year - the ritual humiliation of England's middle order, the partially-sighted umpires, the battling average that reads more like a shoe size. As satisfying as a perfectly timed cover drive, and rather easier to come by, Rain Men offers essential justification for anyone who has ever run a team-mate out on purpose or secretly blubbed at a video of Botham's Ashes.

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. William Woodruff had the sort of childhood satirised in the famous Monty Py thon Yorkshireman sketch. The son of a weaver, he was born on a pallet of s traw at the back of the mill and two days later his mother was back at work . Life was extrememly tough for the family in 1920's Blackburn -- a treat w as sheep's head or cow heel soup -- and got worse when his father lost his job when the cotton industry started its terminal decline. Woodruff had to find his childhood fun in the little free time he had available between his delivery job and school, but he never writes self-pityingly, leaving the r eader to shed the tears on his behalf. At ten his mother takes him on his o ne and only holiday -- to Blackpool. He never wonders where they get the mo ney to do so, only where she disappears to with strange men in the afternoo ns, before taking him to the funfair, pockets jingling an hour or two later . NAB END is certainly not all grime and gloom however, there's a cast of g reat minor characters from an unfrocked vicar to William's indomitable gran dmother Bridget who lend some colour and humour -- and all against the stro ngly rendered social backdrop of the 1920s and 1930s.
