A UNIQUE COPY AUTOGRAPHED BY 4 MEMBERS OF THE MANAGEMENT & SELECTORS; AND 15 ENGLAND PLAYERS FROM THE SERIES AND 6 AUSTRALIANS (INCLUDING ONE AUSTRALIAN SELECTOR).

At the rear of the book are the signatures of several Australians: Paul Hughes (sadly now deceased) ; Usman Khawaja; Marcus North; Ben Hilfenhaus; Peter Siddle; and Greg Chappell (Selector). These signatures were lovingly obtained by one of cricket's legendary autograph hunters who scours the county circuit (with his books in his back-pack) to watch is beloved county team and in the hope (and expectation) that he might be able to add a signature or two to his books on the Ashes series. The 2010-2011 Ashes Series is important as it resulted in a resounding 3-1 series victory for England who retained the Ashes previously won in 2009. Furthermore, this was the first time that England had won the Ashes in Australia for some 24 years. If this is your sort of thing please let me know as I may well be able to offer other books from noteworthy Ashes series multi-signed in a similar way. Photographs/scans available upon request
