Product Description
This exceptional 11-volume Australians book set, published in 1987, is a First Edition Deluxe Limited Edition and a true collector’s treasure. Handbound in Australia in genuine leather, each volume features elegant craftsmanship and a distinctive cover design by celebrated Australian artist John Bull, inspired by patterns from the Australian bush. This rare set was produced to commemorate Australia's Bicentenary and is highly regarded for its scholarly content and beautiful presentation.
The collection includes ten standard-sized hardcover volumes (measuring 28cm x 21cm) and one oversized volume, Australians: Historical Atlas, which measures 28cm x 40cm. Topics range across Australia's early history, its people, places, and events, from colonial times through to 1988, making it a comprehensive and visually engaging reference source.
Each book is housed in a matching leatherette cover case, adding to its aesthetic and archival value. Please note: The case for the Historical Atlas volume shows visible water staining; however, the book inside remains undamaged and in excellent condition.
This deluxe edition is increasingly hard to find in complete form, particularly in such well-preserved condition. It is ideal for collectors, historians, libraries, and anyone passionate about Australia’s rich and complex history.
