Borchardt wrote in his AUSTRALIAN BIBLIOGRAPHY in 1963 'this is probably the most comprehensive bibliography even today.' This second edition has been fully revised and enormously extended, to make it by far the outstanding guide to sources of information on the great navigator. It lists, systematically and accurately, the great wealth of record, mainly in Australia, relating to Cook, his voyages, and his associates. It covers manuscripts, books, charts, portraits, pictures, medals and even relics. A full index is provided. This edition has been published by the Council of the Library of New South Wales to mark the bicentenary of Captain Cook's discovery of the cast coast of Australia, and as a continuing memorial to the man himself.".
