The Story Of St. Ives N.S.W And Some Of Its Inhabitants by Gay Halstead is a lovingly compiled 1982 local history that charts the quiet Sydney suburb’s growth from bushland to community. Halstead blends archival research with first-hand memories, profiling pioneering families, churches, schools and businesses that shaped St Ives.

This scarce hardcover is one of a numbered, illustrated edition personally signed by the author, giving collectors a tangible link to the district’s heritage. Maps, period photographs and lively anecdotes make the 532 pages both reference tool and engaging read for Australian history buffs, genealogists and former residents.

The vintage volume remains solid and complete; a small chip to the jacket and foxing to the signed limitation page and a few leaves are the only flaws. It is priced to reflect these minor age marks, offering an affordable chance to own a signed piece of northern Sydney nostalgia.
