George Robertson: A Publishing Life in Letters by Anthony Barker

Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Minor edgewear. Pages sunned.

In a career spanning half a century, George Robertson published many of Australia's literary legends. With the phenomenal success of The Man from Snowy River in 1895, Angus & Robertson became Australia's most significant publisher.

Anthony Barker's lively account of Robertson's career is interleaved with selected correspondence. Sometimes terse, often witty, cajoling and generous, the letters make for fascinating reading.

Richly illustrated with drawing and photographs.
