A Catalogue of a Travelling Exhibition Celebrating the Books of Australia 1788-1988. The National Library's major public contribution to the Australian bicentenary is the travelling exhibition, People, Print and Paper. Celebrating two hundred years of Australian books, this exhibition and the accompanying catalogue bring together a collection of books which gives a fascinating insight into an aspect of Australian life and character which is often overlooked. Australia is a culture of the book, and the story of its writers, printers, booksellers and publishers is an important microcosm of the country's past and present. Contents: The First Fleet and its successors The convict era The Aborigines The explorers Living in the new country The arts press Private presses Children's books Colonial Australia Australia in the twentieth century
