This fascinating book celebrates the history of early Australian booksellers. The book is a facsimile reproduction of biographical sketches printed in black and red calligraphy by 'various scribes'. The book consists mainly of one-page biographies of about 64 early booksellers and includes booksellers in Sydney, Victoria, and Tasmania. A wonderful addition to any reference collection for anyone wanting to learn a little about the people who were pioneers in early Australian bookselling. (No 198 of a limited edition of 600 copies.).
