  • A Tour of Old Tasmania – Tatlow, Wooley and Mercer

    A Tour of Old Tasmania – Tatlow, Wooley and Mercer

    This tour guide is not dated and what would you expect from the three rogues Tatlow, Wooley and Mercer.

    Self published in 2008. Softcover, 232 pages, extensively illustrated. Ownership signature at front, otherwise a very good copy.

    The three claim the book to be “Your official guide and ripper true tales of the past” … Overseas buyers to translate “ripper” to can’t be beaten etc.

    We have a map near the front that plots the referenced route – all tow thousand plus kilometres of it – often to out of the way off the beaten track places.

    Really a special guide all the more readable because of the muted eccentricity of the writers – true Tasmanian boys.

    A Tasmanian guide book to start and finish with.

  • The Women of the 1790 Neptune [Convict Ship]  – Anne Needham et al – 1992

    The Women of the 1790 Neptune [Convict Ship] – Anne Needham et al – 1992

    Self published by the principal author in 1992. The work follows a further four years research by Anne Needham after she first published on the subject.

    Perfect bound large format, card cover, 187 pages illustrated nicely throughout. Scarce and sought after – a very good copy

    The seventy-six convict woman are listed on the front cover and the list of free female passengers are listed on the title.

    The convict women came from all parts of England. At the end of a good Introduction we see a map with the locations and names. The extraordinary history behind many, if not all, is set out incredibly well in the first 120 pages. Then the voyage out then the goings on at Norfolk Island and New South Wales.

    Needham’s well researched history of the women from the Neptune.

  • Skinner Prout in Australia 1840-48

    Skinner Prout in Australia 1840-48

    If you want to collect Skinner Prout you may be too late his works are fetching big prices.

    Squarish format, perfect bound, 80 pages, with many illustrations of the works … super biographical outline of the master. Very good if not better condition.

    Sought after reference to Skinner Prout.

  • Tasmanian Rogues & Absconders 1803-1875 – Graeme-Evans

    Tasmanian Rogues & Absconders 1803-1875 – Graeme-Evans

    This is volume II and our favourite the middle years, being 1821-1836 … so a subset of the main title.

    Self published by Alex Graeme-Evans of Launceston in 1994.

    Larger soft cover format, perfect bound. 104 pages, nicely illustrated throughout.

    What is it that makes rogues and absconders interesting … a rhetorical question. Much better reading than “everyday folk” … apologies. One thing for sure there were plenty of them … threaded intimately through the history of the Apple Isle.

    For every rogue there seems to have been at least one absconder
