Commencing with my first short xeroxed list in 1969/1970 I have now issued 103 catalogues. All have been on Australia and the Pacific, including separate catalogues on Papua New Guinea, New Zealand, Australian Local Histories, the Australian Aborigines, and one or two on Australian and Pacific Pamphlets, Post cards and Newspapers. The business was officially established in Australia in 1970 (in Canberra, the Federal Capital. If you can spare a few minutes go to: www.visitcanberra.com.au). I had previously lived in Canberra in the 1960s when working for the Canberra Public Library Service, part of the National Library of Australia www.nla.gov.au. Also a couple of years in Tasmania running the Mobile Library service in the North West based in Burnie (see: https://www.libraries.tas.gov.au/Pages/Home.aspx and: www.cradlecoast.com). Later back to the UK and in Cambridge since 1977.
