"The Good Old Days" a Pictorial History of Australia
Brooke, Stephen
ISBN: 0730205916
Bullion Books Silverwater, New South Wales 1989 First Paperback Edition
Folio - over 12" - 15" tall Paperback 1.65 kg; 319 pages, (I think there are 153 photographs, each being printed over two pages, with an explanation alongside, or overleaf) First published as "Life was simple then", this is the celebration of another era -- a time when the pace of life was slower and priorities were different. A superb collection of photographs tells the story, many never before published in this form. The author has supported the magnificent photographs with a detailed text relating the history, the social mores, the events and the purposes surrounding the scenes depicted. Please note that this book will weigh more than 1 kg packed, and extra postage will be requested for delivery outside of Australia. The only damage to the book is a very slight fading of the spine section of the binding. Australiana Very Good

"voices and stories" from many lands; a century of change in Boroondara
McLean, Ruth -- Editor
ISBN: 0958561052
City of Boroondara Camberwell, Victoria 2001 First Edition
4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall Paperback 300 g; X, 114 pages, front end pages map of the district circa 1901, the rear end pages map of the area circa 2001. Illustrated throughout with black-and-white photographs. Gift inscription on the front end page, and a inscription by Denise Jordan in the margin of her poem Sonnets From Hawthorn. Photographic illustrated paperback binding. From Many Lands brings out the stories in a format that is original and friendly, not swamping the reader with too much detail, yet letting the diverse voices speak directly and with the ring of truth. The breadth of contributors is stunning -- they literally come from all walks of life, and how refreshing that not everyone of them is famous. It is this wide range of subjects which permits the book to be an authentic representation of Boroondara today. -- Prof Emeritus Sir Gustav Nossal Local History -- Victoria Very Good
