  As certain as the changing of the seasons, the new edition of Stovold's Almanac heralds the forthcoming season with a review of all things Mornington Crescent over the previous year. The third millennium proves no exception on this account, as the famous muddy-orange volume clocks up another year. Yet the 2002 edition, the 143rd, is something special in that this year's contributions include a retrospective on the career of retired Grand Master Raymond Crabbit. As always this new edition features the usual array of articles, facts, figures, reports and miscellany, all edited in a meticulous but lively manner by Graeme Garden. There is a look back at the 2001 convention in England, and a moving tribute to the late great West Indian Malcolm Herbert Lofthouse the creator of the Camden Corner Triple Play. With such breadth, the appeal is as clear as ever. As a true chronicler of the game, Stovold's has been unequalled for many years. Like its predecessors, the 2002 edition will bring pleasure to Mornington Crescent lovers the world over.

As always, the new edition features the usual array of Mornington Crescent facts and figures, memoirs, historical records, profiles of the great players, recipes and, of course, the ever popular 'Corrections and Clarifications'. Edited by Graeme Garden in a meticulous yet lively manner, this minefield of Mornington Morsels and Crescentabilia is bound to delight none but the most ardent Crescentophile.
