Jim Davidson’s 1986 first edition, The Sydney-Melbourne Book, charts the lively cultural tug-of-war between Australia’s two powerhouse cities. Vintage black-and-white photographs and the author’s own illustrations frame a narrative rich in historical detail and wry observation, making this chronicle a must-have for lovers of Australian history and biography.

This 337-page Allen & Unwin paperback arrives in good overall shape: a tight, square spine, crisp pages free of dog-ears, and only faint edge scuffs. Light pencil notes appear on pages 244-245, offering a glimpse of a previous reader’s thoughts without obscuring the text.

Collectors prize the 1986 illustrated first edition for its nostalgic snapshot of Sydney and Melbourne during the mid-80s. Its compact, travel-friendly format invites browsing and display, while the inscribed (though not author-signed) flyleaf adds a personal touch without premium signature pricing.
