With a new preface and epilogue and a collection of picture essays by contemporary writers, this updated edition explores the economic, political, social, and cultural consequences of the economic rise and fall of Melbourne during the 1880s.
I really love this book. Us always a default, scored it from my grandpa so a bit special. I especially like the bits about Footscray which is where I now live. Wish I could collect bricks from the places they talk about in this book. :)
