Eric William Padwick (23 January 1923 – 29 March 2010〔(Cricket Society Tributes )〕) was a professional bibliographer who compiled the definitive bibliography of cricket literature. He was also Deputy Librarian of the Guildhall Library. The Cricket Society commissioned him to compile a comprehensive bibliography of cricket literature under the title ''A Bibliography of Cricket''. The first edition, published in 1977 by the Library Association had 8294 entries.〔''Barclay's World of Cricket - 2nd Edition'', 1980, Collins Publishers, ISBN 0-00-216349-7, p588〕 It covered the period until 1973. A revised edition, published in 1984, extended the number of entries to over 10,000. A second volume, published in 1991 as ''Padwick's Bibliography of Cricket, Volume 2'', was compiled by Stephen Eley and Peter Griffiths and covered works published between 1980 and 1990 (ISBN 978-0853655282). In 2008 Stephen W. Gibbs published in a limited edition ''Post Padwick: The Gibbs Extension of Padwick's Bibliography, 1990-2006'', with 7049 entries.〔(Cricket Books: Post Padwick )〕 Of the first edition, John Arlott wrote in his review of the cricket books of 1977 in ''Wisden Cricketers' Almanack'' that it "is one of the most important works in the entire history of cricket literature... This is a major contribution not only to cricket at present, but to its literature of the future."〔''Wisden Cricketers' Almanack'', 1978 edition, p. 1117.〕 Padwick died on 29 March 2010, aged 87. == Bibliography == Items are "by E.
