In 1995, Wisden produced a limited edition (100) of beautiful Leather-Bound Editions, each individually numbered and housed in a presentation slip case. Each edition was fully bound in Moroccan leather, the gilt finished with gold lettering and the pages edges tinged with gold gilt. The first five of each edition have been presented every year to the Five Cricketers of the Year. The first 100 were sold and each buyer was given the option of buying the same number on an ongoing basis
The following year in 1996 Wisden increased the number of Leather-Bound editions to 150 per year.
Wisden launched Wisden Cricketers Almanack Australia in 1998. Specific to Australia this ran for eight editions, the final one being 2005-06.
Since 1938 the front cover of the Wisden Linen Cloth edition and from 1965 the dust jacket had depicted two Victorian gentlemen with a list of edition highlight below. In 2003 the image/contents were replaced by a single photograph. The first image was that of Michael Vaughan
2006 A Large Format edition was introduced, housed in a slip case
