The Story Of St. Ives N.S.W And Some Of Its Inhabitants by Gay Halstead is a richly detailed 1982 hardcover celebrating the leafy northern-Sydney suburb. Across 532 illustrated pages the author blends local history with lively biographies of pioneer families, making the book a treasured reference for Australian history buffs and family researchers.

This numbered copy is personally signed by Gay Halstead on the limitation page, adding collector appeal to the already scarce first printing. Generous photographs, maps and ephemera bring St. Ives’ past to life for both long-time residents and curious newcomers.

The vintage textbook shows its age gently: a small chip to the jacket, foxing confined mainly to the signed page and a few leaves beyond, otherwise clean and tightly bound. It remains an engaging read for young adults and adults interested in true local stories.

Ideal for anyone compiling a Sydney or Australian history library, this illustrated, signed edition offers authentic insight into St. Ives’ heritage without the dryness of typical reference works.
