New Guinea: A Summary of our Present Knowledge with Regard to the Island. (and) Recent Explorations in South-Eastern New Guinea.
22 pages plus a large fold-out color map measuring 13 x 23 inches (33 x 58.5 cm). Original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. This is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition This nineteenth century account includes a large colour map of New Guinea, with detailed coastline but a vastly uncharted interior, featuring at its center only two small villages. The author provides a succinct summary of discovery, followed by speculations of the origin of the inhabitants and uncharted territory inland. Topics range from Polynesian ancestry, head-hunting and cannibalism, religion and superstition, trade of commodities and slaves, Papuan law and custom, Dutch claims and English annexation. Also features contemporary news drawing from letters by J. Chalmers, foremost missionary and explorer in New Guinea.

Tsiolkas, Christos
The Slap
At a suburban barbecue, a man slaps a child who is not his own. This event has a shocking ricochet effect on a group of people, mostly friends, who are directly or indirectly influenced by the event. In this remarkable novel, Christos Tsiolkas turns his unflinching and all-seeing eye on to that which connects us all: the modern family and domestic life in the twenty-first century. The Slap is told from the points of view of eight people who were present at the barbecue. The slap and its consequences force them all to question their own families and the way they live, their expectations, beliefs and desires. What unfolds is a powerful, haunting novel about love, sex and marriage, parenting and children, and the fury and intensity - all the passions and conflicting beliefs - that family can arouse. Book

On Hermit Hill: Benjamin Herschel Babbage and the Lake Torrens Myth
North Melbourne: Australian Scholarly Publishing. 2021. Octavo Size approx 15.5 x 22.8cm. Mint copy pictorial boards in a Mint Dustjacket. A New Book. Dustjacket protected in our purpose-made plastic sleeve. Black & white illustrations and maps. xviii 369 pages. Benjamin Herschel Babbage was a South Australian engineer surveyor and explorer. In 1858 he stood on Hermit Hill near Kati Thanda - Lake Eyre South and recognised that there was a gap in a mythical horseshoe-shaped Lake Torrens that the explorer Edward John Eyre had conceived sixteen years earlier. Babbage's discovery was a crucial step in opening northern South Australia to European settlement and paved the way for John McDouall Stuart's crossing of the continent. Babbage achieved much under arduous conditions but the Adelaide newspapers accused him of slow progress and the South Australian Government summarily dismissed him as expedition leader. Robust professional packaging and tracking provided for all parcels. . New. 1st Edition. Hardback. Australian Scholarly Publishing hardcover

UNAIPON, David
Native Legends
Adelaide: Hunkin Ellis & King Printers and Publishers Pirie Street 1929. First Edition. Paperback. Very Good. Adelaide Hunkin Ellis & King Printers and Publishers Pirie Street first published 1929; suggested third issue with minor differences as detailed below. Octavo 16 pages with 2 illustrations from photographs on pages 6 and 12; the colophon at the foot of the last page states 'Hunkin Ellis and King Ltd. Printers Pirie Street Adelaide'. Pale green wrappers with a portrait of the author on the front cover plus text on the inside rear cover 'An Aboriginal Pleads for His Race' by David Unaipon; wrappers foxed and lightly used with the spine expertly stabilised on the inside; unrelated text written in ink on the blank outside rear cover and in the blank bottom quarter of the last page quoting Sir Stanton Hicks on soil health; overall a very good copy. This is claimed - incorrectly - to be the first book by an Aboriginal Australian see Michael Richards: 'People Print and Paper. A Catalogue of a Travelling Exhibition celebrating the Books of Australia 1788-1988' National Library of Australia 1988 - item 48 with 1929 as the date of publication. Both the Australian National Bibliography and Greenway are unclear confused and confusing on this point but a review copy with this date in Sir Will Sowden's hand has been sighted and that should settle it. Variant issues of both the first and later editions of this seminal work exist: obvious changes to this edition include the page count commencing with the first page and not the second; the removal of the lizard illustration from the fourth page and the addition of the text on the inside rear cover. Subtle changes indicate that the book was partially reset: these include the variant colophon on the last page the Pirie Street address no longer includes the number 113; a variant font for the captions; and variant spacings between the headings and text. <p>It is worth enumerating the other variants we have identified and our suggested order of issue. There are two different cover illustrations: the portrait of the author as with this copy and a portrait of a young Indigenous woman Clara and each appears on at least two variant colour wrappers. In the first issue the outside rear cover carries a small advertisement within a thin border: 'The Narrinyeri Their Customs and Traditions By David Unaipon Is in Course of Preparation'. This advertisement appears to have been removed from all subsequent issues most likely because the proposed publication did not appear under the advertised title and not even under Unaipon's name if it is the book we think it is. In early 1927 after an unfortunate breakdown in communications between David Unaipon and Angus and Robertson the publishers sold the copyright of Unaipon's manuscript 'Legendary Tales of the Australian Aborigines' to Dr William Ramsay Smith. In 1930 in a slightly edited form not least with Smith now claiming full authorship the manuscript was published in London as 'Myths and Legends of the Australian Aboriginals'. The full account of this unhappy story was published in 'Legendary Tales of the Australian Aborigines' edited by Stephen Muecke and Adam Shoemaker Miegunyah Press 2001. <p>What we believe to be the second issue contains two rather than three illustrations to the text the lizard illustration from the fourth page is removed; the printer's street number 113 and the name of the city are lacking from the colophon; and there is no advertisement on the rear cover. The third issue as in the present copy is similar to the second but can be distinguished by corrected pagination the page count commences with the first page and not the second; another variant colophon with 'and' instead of an ampersand and Adelaide reintroduced; captions set in different type; and the addition of text to the inside rear cover 'An Aboriginal Pleads for His Race'.
