Wisden Cricketers' Almanack was first published in 1864, and a new edition has been published every year since then.

While limited-edition reprints of every edition of Wisden from 1864 to 1946 have been published over the past few decades, collecting these limited-edition reprints is not cheap as each one has normally been priced between £50 and £100.

Now, for the first time, John Wisden & Co is offering a digital version of the 1866 edition, to allow cricket lovers more affordable access to this historic book which forms such a significant part of the game's great heritage.
