Item description from seller

Full leather, with gilt border, gilt decorative spine and title; marbled boards. x 343 pages. The award sticker on the front paste down tells us that Hector A McDonald, a student at Glenferrie High School, was awarded the book first prize in Mathematics and Latin. The book is immaculate, and I don't the pages have ever been turned. The front board is lightly rubbed at the head, else immaculate. A beautiful, elegant book. It covers steam engines, lighthouses, printing, railways and locomotives, telephones, cotton and iron and yes, there's more. The book provides no author and James Hamilton Fyfe is taken from Trove.

Store description

Good Reading was established in 1991. In early 2013, I downsized from a shop which spanned a block and two stories to a largish house which resembles a rabbit warren. There are at approximately 40,000 titles, including over 10,000 books in Italian, French, German, Modern Greek, Latin and classical Greek., most of which have not yet been catalogued. I also have a very large Theology section, and a substantial cookery and Australian History one. Please contact me if there is a specific title you are chasing as it may be languishing on the shelf uncatalogued. All enquiries will be answered promptly, books will be mailed out swaddled like Russian babies, and all faults honestly described. I do a full refund for any book sporting nasty surprises.…
