AUSTRALIANS A HISTORICAL DICTIONARY: Book IX of 'Australians A Historical Library' RARE Leatherbound Edition

Fairfax, Syme & Weldon 1987 limited deluxe edition with slipcase and bound in Australian leather 462 pages

Edited by Graeme Aplin, S.G. Foster, Michael McKernan and Ian Howie-Willis

This rare leatherbound, deluxe edition has a cover design by John Bull, reflecting the patterns of the Australian bush and is also lavishly and profusely illustrated throughout with photographs in colour and black and white. This book and its ten companions were created to mark the bicentenary of European settlement in Australia and they are the outcome of collaboration on a scale never before attempted in the writing of Australian history. Hundreds of people in and beyond universities have joined together to recreate the experience of people living in Australia since 1788 and to place that experience in the wider context of a human occupation that began tens of thousands of years ago. 

An excellent book in mint condition.

Thanks for looking.
