1. Very Good. Great piece with so many interesting pictures and stories inside. If you like history, you will like this compilation which was proudly supported by The National Trust. 2. Very Good. Couple of tears to the dust jacket. Some wear to the edges of the hard cover. Inner pages are pretty much as new. This lists a large numbers of old mining towns from across Australia with a brief history of each town, quite a fascinating read. 3. Very Good. Dust jacket has some tears and the hard cover has some wear to the edges. Inner pages are in really good condition. Loaded with amazing pictures of goldfields across Victoria in the early days, this is a great book for the history buffs. 4. Very Good. This had a dust jacket, but it disintegrated apparently, so is now a hard cover book with no dust jacket. As soon as you open this and see the double page old photograph of the Launching Place post office, you know this is going to be good! Littered with historical photographs showing early life in Australia and a brief story on each photograph, such as the Yangan Cheese Farm, this is a great book for the history buffs. Grade: N/A Estimate: $50 - 75
