USED BOOK

CONDITION

Good (G): Describes the average used worn book that has all pages or leaves present. Any defects will be noted on the listing.

Shelf Wear - The wear that occurs as a book is placed onto and removed from a shelf. It may be to the tail (bottom) edge of the covers as they rub against the shelf, to the dust jacket or exterior of the covers (when no dust jacket is present) as the book rubs against its neighbors, or to the head of the spine which some use to pull the book from the shelf.

DESCRIPTION

Between 1914 and 1919, every troopship leaving Australia or returning to it produced a shipboard newspaper.

The custom was continued in base camps, at Gallipoli, and in the trenches in France and the result was a large body of literature, ranging from handwritten sheets compiled under fire and posted in dugouts to journals and souvenir magazines professionally printed behind the lines.
