Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Faint mark on right foredge. Dust jacket has light creasing at edges and spine. Tiny tear to tail right front cover, now protected with book tape. Interior and binding are still excellent.

One of the most significant books written on the history of infrastructure development in Western Australia. The construction of roads and bridges, harbours and jetties, railways, public buildings, irrigation schemes and drainage and water supply and pipelines are discussed chronologically in chapters. Bibliography and index included.

Although not entirely rare, copies are becoming scarce, and their price is increasing. This is the best copy I've seen in decades.
