Melbourne : Australian Book Auctions, 2019. Quarto, gilt-lettered green buckram, pp. 194, illustrated. Limited to 135 copies signed by the author. New copy. "Thomas and William Boone, prominent booksellers of new, secondhand, and antiquarian books and manuscripts in mid- nineteenth-century London, were responsible for publishing… the first-hand accounts of all the major figures from the epic age of Australian exploration ? Mitchell, Grey, Eyre, Hodgkinson, Stokes, Jukes, Leichhardt, Sturt and Macgillivray ? as well as other rare and important Australian publications, such as George Grey?s A Vocabulary of the Dialects of South Western Australia and John Elphinstone Erskine?s Short Account of the late Discoveries of Gold in Australia; with notes of a Visit to the Gold District, the earliest account of an Australian gold field. These books formed what the Boones came to call their ?Library of Australian Travels? Collectors have long known that these valuable books are to be found in a number of variant bindings but until now there has been no comprehensive survey of these publications. The result of over thirty years study, Jonathan Wantrup?s book describes the numerous variant issues and bindings of these seminal texts, establishing their order of issue. Published in a restricted edition of 135 copies, signed by the author, Thomas and William Boone?s Library of Australian Travels is extensively illustrated by 45 full-page colour photographic plates and 13 black & white text illustrations. The book includes an account of the firm in relation to their activities as booksellers and publishers; this is the first such account of the firm. Included are eight appendices: detailing all the advertisements found in books from Boone?s Australian ?Library? (advertisement slips, single-leaf advertisements, and advertisement catalogues); a chronological table of advertisements; a full list of plates in Boone?s Library, with variants noted; a full list of maps and charts, with variants noted; precisedates of publication of each book; and tables of comparative scarcity." - the publisher.

Melbourne : Australian Book Auctions, 2025. Large octavo, 255 x 180 mm, 470 pages, 103 illustrations (17 in colour), twelve chapters, and two Checklists. Set in Adobe Garamond 11 / 13. Printed and bound in Australia on 100 gsm Sovereign Offset and bound in dark green buckram blocked in gilt, with colour pictorial dustwrapper. Ne…w copy, printed in a small edition of 220 copies. The long-awaited prequel of Jonathan Wantrup's definitive reference Australian Rare Books 1788 - 1900. Forming a prequel to his earlier two-volume Australian Rare Books 1788-1900, the author here examines the printed works telling the story of the discovery of Australia, as the Dutch and English mariners first identified parts of New Holland?s outline, and then completed the map of the entire continent. Wantrup provides detailed descriptions of these books, which should prove invaluable to collectors, curators, cataloguers, and booksellers. It is also the story of two centuries of geo-political and trade forces that drove the search for Terra Australis Incognita and the uncovering of the Pacific, analysed in light of the publications of the Spanish, Dutch, French, and English exploring nations from the time they first venture into the Pacific around Cape Horn. Wantrup analyses both official and unofficial accounts of voyages, while also providing a lively statement of the achievements of the scientists and mariners responsible for them. Wantrup?s own career in the rare book trade, his role in guiding and advising collectors, his knowledge of bibliography, and his achievements as an author, mark this book as another unique contribution to the history of Australian discovery and its literature.

New copy, printed in a small edition of 400 copies. The long-awaited revised edition of Jonathan Wantrup's definitive reference Australian Rare Books 1788 - 1900. 'The 1987 first edition of Wantrup?s Australian Rare Books 1788-1900 quickly became the internationally recognised definitive work on collecting rare Australian books of the Colonial Period. Offering a distinctive approach to Australian history and a unique perspective on the development of Australian society, in his eminently readable book Wantrup demonstrates a rare facility for making complicated things seem simple. This revised and enlarged second edition comprises the eight chapters of the first edition and five new chapters: a survey of beautiful Australian colourplate natural history books (two chapters); a detailed account of the French grands voyages to the south-west Pacific; books of the Australian gold rush; and, finally, an unconventional overview of the literature of colonial Australia. The work is completed by an extensive bibliographical Checklist describing over 600 books discussed in the text.' - the publisher.
