Batsford, 1978. Hardcover in Dustjacket. Near Fine. CARS Vintage CarsBarrie Price's comprehensive account of Lea-Francis ultimately presents a very accurate and realistic portrait of a car manufacturer that traded more on its racing prowess than its manufacturing competence. This is a fascinating insight into a famous marque with exceptional depth and a human touch.- Classic Car WeeklyFounded in 1895 under the aegis of R.H. Lea, the company originally built cycles and motorcycles but, by the 1920s, was established as a manufacturer of high quality sporting cars. From the 1930s to the 1960s, Lea-Francis specialized in medium-sized cars built with care and the best quality components. Successful in motorsports, ""Leaf"" was an innovative company, but a lack of regard for good business principles led to fluctuating fortunes throughout the company's long life. This text tells the story of the firm.Lea-Francis was a British motor manufacturing company that began by building bicycles.R. H. Lea and G. I.… Read More

University of Western Australia Press, 2002. Softcover. Fine. WEST AUSTRALIANA Previous writings on Charles Yelverton O'Connor, the farsighted Irish civil engineer who has become an almost legendary figure in the history of Western Australia, have tended to concentrate on the political, economic and engineering aspects of his life and work. Today, his works are revered and his memory honoured, though whether this enduring interest stems as much from a fascination with the events surrounding his tragic suicide than with a genuine appreciation of his work is debatable. In this biography, the author seeks to focus more on the man himself, the quintessential Victorian, brimming with confidence and a belief that the great technical advances of the era, together with social reforms, would eventually bring harmony and prosperity to all. As a man of his age, his character can only be understood by understanding the aspirations of the age - the ideals and values that shaped his life and, ultimately, the… Read More

1992. FINE!. When Fairlie Arrow, a torch singer and song stylist at Jupiters Casino on Queensland's Gold Coast, disappeared from her Isle of Capri home on December 15, 1991, the media immediately reported that she was in the clutches of ""an obsessed fan."" On ABC-TV on December 17, Arrow's husband elaborated on the concept of a ""fatal attraction,"" asserting that ""if you look at what show biz is about, it's really about what you aim for ... You aim for people to like your image."" At the time of her disappearance, however, Arrow was finding it increasingly difficult to sustain the image to which she aspired. In recent times her work at the casino had to be supplemented with hoofing at lesser venues. During the days when Arrow was being touted as a victim of an obsessed fan, she was in fact in control of her and the media's time in a state of self-exile. Between December 15 and 17 she was comfortably accommodated in a motel room five kilometers from the Gold Coast. She was enjoying the television… Read More
