Over a Century of News From the Archives of Truth
Savvas, Adrian -- Compiler
ISBN: 0949155225
Savvas Publishing College Park, Adelaide 1993 First Edition
Folio - over 12" - 15" tall Hardcover 2.65 kg; 401 pages, illustrated end pages, and the majority of the pages starting page 9 illustrated with black-and-white photographs, and cartoons taken from the Truth newspaper during the last 100 plus years. Illustrated dustwrapper. Both the book and dustjacket show no signs of damage stop In Melbourne, when you talk of The Truth newspaper, everyone immediately thinks of the buxom unclad woman on page 3, and of scurrilous yellow journalism. Sure, they had the tits and bums, but then so do the other major papers in Melbourne, you just have to look a little more closely to find them. Often leading the way in investigative journalism, and often trumping the larger papers because of their devoted attendance at the courts, The Truth, catered to the high-end, and the low end of the market at the same time. The other papers could never claim that. Please note that this book will weigh more than 1 kg packed, and extra postage will be requested for delivery outside of Australia. Journalism Very Good

An American Experience
Ashbolt, Allan
Australasian Book Society Sydney 1966 First Australian Edition
Octavo - up to 9 ¾" tall - Octavo Blue Cloth 304 pp., Victor Gollancz style dustwrapper (which is not surprising given that it was jointly published by Victor Gollancz And the Australasian Book Society). 2 X 1.0 "tears of top edge of the rear panel of the dustwrapper along each crease. The spine and top edge of the dustwrapper have browned from the original vivid yellow. The edges of the book and the endpapers have also browned. The author reveals himself as a really outstanding journalist, and extremely shrewd and well-informed political and social analyst and a true radical -- in his own use of the word, which he makes clear in his particularly notable chapter on the Supreme Court. The conflict over the meaning of liberty, as it is reflected in the clash of opinion in the Supreme Court is, he believes, "far more fundamental to the political development of the United States than any policy clashes between the two main parties". This is one of his main conclusions: the other is that what's wrong with America stems basically from its pervading business philosophy that "come murder, come mayhem, a respectable firm still has to sell its products".
