12mo - 17.5 x 12 cm.; [6] - 167 pp. Stiff card stock covers with a blue faux leather finish. Gilt lettering on spine and front board. The text paper used is a high quality coated stock. First published in 1955, this is the second edition. Essentially a collection of articles in an edited and updated form that had appeared in the 'Northern Miner' over the years. Illustrated with black and white photographs, drawings and maps. Twenty-three page glossary at the back. The covers show mild soiling and the front joint shows some shelf wear. Otherwise the book appears to have never been used.
