History of the Book in Australia 1891–1945. “This is the first of a landmark series of studies of Australian book production and consumption. It focuses on the crucial period from the 1890s to the Second World War when home-grown literary culture expanded along with pioneering publishers such as Angus & Robertson.

Every aspect of print culture is explored, from authorship, editing, design and printing to publication, distribution, bookselling, libraries and reading habits”. [blurb]
