Antipodean Press, North Sydney, 1974. First Edition. Hardcover (Original Cloth). Very Good Condition/Very Good. Illustrator: Photographic. 256 pages, last four pages blank, colour frontispiece and four other pages of black-and-white photography. Woodgrain style of dust wrapper. Traces of foxing to the top edge of the text block, it's like rubbing bottom of the spine jacket, no other damage, and internally clean, with no annotations that I can find. This book is the true, fascinating, down-to-earth account of the day-to-day working life of a wharf foreman who rises in rank to become the manager of his company. This book is the genuine story of the Sydney wharfies told with humour, frankness and honesty. It catalogues their rise from the role of abused underdogs to outspoken unionized men asserting their rights under new laws. Size: 8vo - over 7Â¾" - 9Â¾" tall.
