  • Brighton and Surrounds [Tasmania] – Alison Alexander

    Brighton and Surrounds [Tasmania] – Alison Alexander

    A first and only edition of Alison Alexander’s fabulous book on the history of Bagdad, Bridgewater, Brighton, Broadmarsh, Dromedary, Elderslie, Mangalore, Old Beach, Pontville and Tea Tree.

    Published in 2006 by the Council and surely the most sumptuous council backed publication of all time. The author, of course, probably Tasmania’s most prolific writer of history at this high standard.

    Large quarto, 394 pages, illustrated throughout. Printed on very heavy stock so consequently a heavy book. Will require a postage supplement unless local. A fine copy in a fine jacket. Very hard to come by … we think the author has run out – not entirely sure.

    If you live in and love the area – this is the book for you.

  • Tasmanian Tiger – A Lesson to be Learnt … Eric Guiler and Philippe Goddard

    Tasmanian Tiger – A Lesson to be Learnt … Eric Guiler and Philippe Goddard

    Irish born Dr Eric Rowland Guiler died in 2008. He was to that date the leading zoologist with the passion to find a living Thylacine.

    Guiler wrote a number of the most desired books on the subject … this is certainly the biggest of them.

    Heavy papered quarto, 256 pages, illustrated magnificently throughout. A super fine copy including the dust jacket. Published in 1998 by the distinguished Abrolhos Press of Perth, WA.

    As we say “heavy” so if going Overseas it will require a postage supplement.

    Tasmanian Tiger given the full royal treatment by Guiler.

    SO SORRY SOLD

    A super memoir. Self published in the year 2000 by the author. Larger format softcover 137 pages. A very good near fine copy. Frontispiece facsimile map of 1825 by Souter. Images from original photographs and sketches throughout.

    A bit of an old fashioned rendition about folks and what they got up to and who was related to who and did what. Having said that you cannot but get a warm feeling for Edward Shaw by the time you finish and the East Coast of Tasmania feels more like home as it should be.

    Well researched and produced making an important contribution to works on the two voyages undertaken by Dumont D’Urvillle in the first half of the 19th Century.

    Following and introductory chapter “Southern Discomfort” and excellent map, we gain an understanding of the man and what drove him. His voyage towards the Polar Ice; the Anthropology and “Harvest of Curiosities” and the more defined Natural History Catalogue. Some notes on the artists without whom the wonder could not have been so well revealed. Data back up in the form of routes and statistics of the Voyage are followed by the great man’s correspondence and of all things “his will” … references, bibliography.

    Dumont D’Urville well presented historical account, some new information and special images.
