Product Description
Adelaide, Wakefield Press, 1988.
Quarto, xvi, 339 pages with 332 illustrations and 2 maps.
Papered boards slightly bumped and rubbed at the extremities; ownership signature (Bob Ellis) on the front free endpaper; an excellent copy with the very good dustwrapper (spine sunned and a little chipped and creased at the head).
Not least, of Central Australian interest (and a fine Indigenous Australian pictorial reference).
Loosely inserted is a processed typescript letter personally signed by Ted Hampton, Chairperson of the Aboriginal Literature Development Assistance Association Inc.
It is essentially an apology for any delay in despatch of the pre-ordered copy ('ALDAA is entirely run by volunteers.
We have had a big rush of orders since the book was finally released on 18 July').
However, it also adds the important information that 'The initial print run of 3000 is now more than two thirds sold, due largely to ALDAA efforts.
As soon as it is sold out, publishing rights will revert to the Aboriginal people through ALDAA'.
