John Maitland
Sydney: The Macquarie Head Press, 1933.“This work is described by Miller as presenting ‘social and economic phases of life in mandated territories of the Northern Pacific and the sex-attitudes of whites and blacks’.

Ten Thousand Miles on a Bicycle
Karl Kron
New York: Karl Kron, 1887.“A book of American roads, for men who travel on bicycle. Its ideal is that of a gazetteer, dictionary, cyclopaedia, statistical guide, thesaurus of facts.” (from preface). A thorough history of 19th century cycling by one of its early adopters. Having never seen a cyclist riding a bicycle Kron ordered and received his first bicycle in 1879. Over the next 3 years he rode over 10,000 miles and contributed regularly to the cycling periodicals of the day. He then set about describing in great detail his touring experiences as well as all sorts of cycling minutiae, including reports from Australasian subscribers. Unable to find a publisher Kron pitched his book to his article readers and received over 3,500 $1 subscriptions. This not one of the subscriber’s issue.
