Jim Davidson’s 1986 first edition, The Sydney-Melbourne Book, charts the lively rivalry between Australia’s two powerhouse cities. Vintage black-and-white photographs and the author’s own illustrations amplify this engaging historical chronicle.

The paperback’s 337 pages remain tight and square with only light edge wear; a single page shows thumbing, and neat pencil notes appear on pages 244-245. A previous owner has inscribed the fly-leaf, adding a touch of provenance without author signature.

Collectors of Australian history, culture buffs and travellers after true stories will appreciate this well-preserved Allen & Unwin debut. Secure a piece of 1980s publishing history that still reads fresh today.
