Tom Keneally AO, dual winner of the Miles Franklin and winner of the Man Booker Prize recently gave a glowing endorsement for the Melbourne Books new release, The Grade Cricketer...
'The Grade Cricketer is the finest tribute to a sport since
Nick Hornby's Fever Pitch, and the best cricket book in yonks.
It's belly-laughing funny but it's also a hymn to the grand and complex game delivered with a narrative pace and ability I'm afraid most Test players don't have.
For anyone who ever dreamed of excelling at a sport but never quite made it but still gave it your life, this is the story. A great read!'
Not one but TWO exclusive new books about Australia's first supergroup The Seekers are set to be launched in November, just in time for Christmas and the release of the new stage show Georgy Girl: The Seekers Musical.
The Seekers: The 50 Year Recorded History of Australia’s First Supergroup by Graham Simpson and Christopher Patrick is the world’s first ‘Enseeklopedia’ – a treasure trove of stories, music analysis and rare memorabilia. Moreover, it is a long overdue salute to Australia’s Fab Four and their enduring recording catalogue.
From the big hits like ‘Georgy Girl’, ‘The Carnival is Over’ and ‘Morningtown Ride’ through to the more obscure recordings by Australia’s first supergroup, here is a book that offers an extraordinary analysis of every song The Seekers have ever recorded.
Coupled with fascinating insights about those recordings, along with much rare, never-before-seen Seekers memorabilia from the four corners of the globe — and some priceless trivia.
In The Seekers: Behind the Curtain, Bruce has documented his band — Judith Durham, Athol Guy, Keith Potger and himself — on what is likely to be their last world tour.
Bruce Woodley AO is not only a founding member of The Seekers, but also a fine photographer and has captured The Seekers as they’ve never been seen before!
This historic collection of more than 50 superb mono and colour images is presented in a handsome coffee table, hard cover, 80-page book with jacket.
