About This Item
Penguin Books, Ringwood, Victoria, 1994. Reprint. Softcover. Good Condition. Preface by Michael Cathcart, list of maps, and index. At the beginning of the text there is a black and white portrait of Manning Clark by Louis Kahan. Colour illustrated paperback binding with white coloured titles to the front panel and back strip. This abridgement re-orchestrates Clark's six volume classic. As the narrative ranges from 1788 to the threshold of World War II, the abridger, never loses sight of Clark's sympathies and understanding, retaining all the magnificence of the original. Creasing of the book corners with a reading crease to the back strip. Cocking of the spine with rubbing of the book edges and panels. Toning and marking of the text block edges and very light age toning of the pages. Fading of the back strip. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. 572 pages,. Please refer to accompanying picture (s). Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilo. Category: History; Australia; ISBN: 0140232648. ISBN/EAN: 9780140232646. Inventory No: 0289159. . 9780140232646
