BOOKSPLENDOUR'S AUSTRALIAN PAGE


For the convenience of those who may not know where to look for Australia, we have provided a map. On this evidence Australia, which contrary to the prevailing opinion is only sparsely populated by crocodiles, is situated up over, near the top of the world, just below and slightly to the right of New Zealand, the main abode of the Hobbits, as was recently revealed. We had to leave out the topmost continent of Antarctica, but only reluctantly. The race of scientists that shares this frozen land with the penguins could conceivably be desirous of the latter in paperback form, especially during the half-year long winter nights. That’s where we can help.

Being an Australian used books dealership, we have designed this page with the object on mind of making it easier for Aussie readers to find what they are looking for. On the left there are over 20 catalogues, each containing books that are in some way related to Australia. Authors of  the novels, non-fictional works, poems, essays, etc., are either Australians, born here or naturalised, or the subject of their work is Australia, the people, the land, the history, the culture, the Aboriginal culture and art, the nature, the wildlife, and so on.

Because we call Queensland, and specifically Brisbane, our home, we have a special catalogue of books that are either related to Queensland, or have been written by authors living in this state. As yet it is not as big as we would wish it to be, currently around 50 titles, as we find it difficult keeping up with the demand.

There is a catalogue of books on the Australian art. It is not big at the moment, but we hope to expand it in the near future. We have always had a special interest in the Australian art, one of our proprietors being an active artist, having exhibited his landscape and abstract paintings at various venues in the past. You can view some of his works in our online art gallery, which also includes some virtual art and a selection of art classics. 

Australian Aboriginal culture and its tradition is what many people in this country and in the rest of the world want to know about. Currently we have close to a hundred titles in this catalogue of used books and, again, we are hoping to find more that we can bring to you. 

We have not forgotten our friends who live across the Tasman and who often buy books from us. The sixth catalogue of New Zealand related out of print books currently contains more than 50 titles.

Another catalogue we include here is Asia Fictio and Non-Fiction, which includes some titles concerning the Pacific region.
