Full product description

Vinciness is a cricket book, but only just.

Written by Jon Hotten, it moves through James Vince, batting, beauty, failure and the feeling of watching a player whose game seems to promise something just out of reach. It is about cricket as style, form and frustration. The sort of book that belongs beside the game, rather than simply explaining it.

This second edition is being designed and typeset by Fisher Classics, with new cover artwork created in the studio. A paperback that feels like an object worth keeping: readable, tactile, visually considered and true to the writing inside.

Pre-sales are open while the cover art and typesetting are completed. Orders will be fulfilled once the second edition has been finalised and printed.
