Welcome to list #191, our pre-ANZAC Day collection of unit histories. I apologise for missing my March catalogue but I spent most of that time banged up in hospital. Things are looking pretty good now. I appreciate all the calls enquiring as to whether I was ‘still drawing rations’. I can assure all and sundry I am here for the longer haul. The big project we’ve been working on over the last few months is the ‘SIMMO Project’. (with the extremely hard-working researcher Peter Lutley). We produced 1,000 copies of the SIMMO biography last November which was very well received and the mad flurry saw many sold. However, we were hoping to have the bulk of them sold by ANZAC Day but so far, we’re stalled at the 600 odd mark with 400 left. As you know, the entire profits of the project will be going to veteran’s charities (namely Perth Legacy and the SAS Association (WA Branch) Benevolent Fund.) Both of these charities do incredible work in providing for widows and families in particular those facing hardships. The work Perth Legacy does with the kids of deceased soldiers (under Blue Burridge) is nothing short of remarkable. But that can only happen once we’ve sold the lot. So...I appeal to all of you out there to get in and grab a signed first edition for charity. And certainly pass the word around among friends and family. They are listed at A$65 plus $15 postage. If you’ve served in the RAR, Commandos, SAS, AATTV then we can offer a discounted price to bona fide buyers. (ring me). This was a 5 year project and so it will be great to be able see it all come to fruition. As many who have bought a copy will attest, it’s a quality book which enshrines the great man’s memory. I planned to get stuck into another couple of projects in collaboration with other historians this year I think 2017 may be more realistic. I am to do an update to Syd Tregellis-Smith’s Bibliography of Australian Unit Histories. And with Dornbusch and Fielding-O’Neill now so way out of date, I think it’s about time for an update. The other project in the pipeline is a bibliography of Australian Special Forces. Both these projects are designed to assist future generations of serious collectors and historians on the scope of the fields they have plunged into. Without tools such as these, it’s all down to Google and who uses that?? As usual this catalogue is dedicated to our armed forces in harms way and those not travelling too well. Happy ANZAC Day.

My Bookroom is open each day by appointment – preferably in the afternoons. Give me a call. Abbreviations: 8vo =octavo size or from 140mm to 240mm, ie normal size book, 4to = quarto approx 200mm x 300mm (or coffee table size); d/w = dust wrapper; pp = pages; vg cond = (which I thought was self explanatory) very good condition. Other dealers use a variety including ‘fine’ which I would rather leave to coins etc. Illus = illustrations (as opposed to ‘plates’); ex lib = had an earlier life in library service (generally public) and is showing signs of wear (these books are generally 1st editions mores the pity but in this catalogue most have been restored); eps + end papers, front and rear, ex libris or ‘book plate’; indicates it came from a private collection and has a book plate stuck in the front end papers. Books such as these are generally in good condition and the book plate, if it has provenance, ie, is linked to someone important, may increase the value of the book, inscr = inscription, either someone’s name or a presentation inscription; fep = front end paper; the paper following the front cover and immediately preceding the half title page; biblio: bibliography of sources used in the compilation of a work (important to some military historians as it opens up many other leads). or.cl. = original cloth generally indicating there is no dust wrapper; restored; generally means a book has had the treatment by a book binder. New end papers, glued or sewn spine, even new boards. The value of rare books can be greatly enhanced if they are restored professionally. ‘Back-yarders’ should desist from attempting to restore books! There are many reputable binders around the place who will do a good job at a good price. By the way, the number that appears in brackets in the catalogue, ie (1814) is a data base number so no need to quote it when ordering. Postage is always extra and insurance is available upon request. Overseas orders by credit card only. Postage will be by cheapest and most practical means possible unless otherwise requested. (In Australia, Express Post is the quickest and carefully handled by Australia Post. Express Post has increased to $17 for a 3kg satchel (this includes everything OVER 500gms and under 3kg). So if you want it quick use Express—bit slower is the 3kg red satchel - $15 which includes post pack and TLC). Our terms for first-time buyers are ‘payment up front’. Established buyers can pay by credit card, cheque, money order etc on receipt of an invoice.
