Australia : Australian National Travel Association, 1959. Centenary Edition . Softcover (Side-stapled). Good condition/Fair (paper cover). A4 (300 x 210mm approx.). Stapled magazine Text body is clean and free from previous owner annotation, underlining and highlighting No foxing in this copy All edges neat and clean This month Queensland will celebrate the centenary of separation from New South Wales and the beginning of re- sponsible government.

After Words is unique in Australian publishing by virtue of its scale and range of subjects, and that all the speeches are the work of one eye and one mind: former Australian Prime Minister Paul Keating. Each speech has been conceptualized, contextualized and crafted by Paul… Read More
