The joy of cricket books with The Grove Bookshop

Mike Sansbury is General Manager of The Grove Bookshop in Ilkley and my latest guest on the Cricket Yorkshire Podcast.

Half an hour whistles by as he discusses the importance of independent bookshops, some of his favourite cricket books and playing the game over the years.

If you like books, cricket, browsing bookshops, hearing about the latest titles coming up and some recommendations, plus stories from playing friendlies, this is a must.
