VERY GOOD book in VERY GOOD unclipped dust jacket Dark-blue cloth-bound boards with gold title to spine, light-blue endpapers, illustrated title page, printed on cream stock throughout, with charming b&w scraper-board illustrations at chapter-heads and through text. Catching wild fish in wild places is the theme of this book, and the lonely moors and mountains of Scotland provide the setting.

The world's demand for forest products is increasing because of increases in population and in standards of living. Consequently, larger and larger proportions of the forested areas must be devoted to intensively managed, fast-growing species to meet the need for wood for a widening range of purposes. Many eucalypt species suit this purpose.The regeneration of old forests following clear felling is well understood, but the problems of harvesting and utilizing the resulting young, dense stands in a high-labour-cost country are being examined. This book summarizes the information now available on growing eucalypt wood under intensive management in Australia, and the characteristics and uses of the resulting product. Thirty-three highly qualified contributors.

Magazine in VERY GOOD condition Every Australian writer with books in Public Libraries continues to owe an enormous debt to the single-mindedness and dedication of one man, COLIN SIMPSON, who, on behalf of the ASA, fought and cajoled for Government recognition of authors' missing income through books borrowed in libraries (as opposed to readers buying the books to read). In this issue of The Australian Author, Simpson presents an 11,000 word account.(19 spirited pages) of the tortuous campaign which began in 1956 and was successfully concluded in 1974. Based on 50 cents for authors and their heirs, and 12½ cents for publishers, indexed to Cost-of-Living (payments have doubled by new millenium) for books held in libraries, determined by survey. Simpson provides international background, opposition by libraries, threats to…
