Review Quotes:
'Jason Ensor has written a book that will be of great interest and use, first and foremost, to historians of the book and publishing industries in both Britain and Australia. [...] It also highlights the seam of nationalism, streaked with cultural cringe and imperial desire, which runs through Australia's literary and publishing histories.' -Kylie Mirmohamadi, 'Australian Historical Studies'
