Melbourne Dimmeys of Richmond: The Rise and Fall by historian Samuel Furphy tracks the colourful 150-year journey of Australia’s most famous discount house. This 2007 illustrated hardcover shows how a modest Richmond drapery grew into a nationwide bargain empire before fading from the high street.

Furphy blends biography, business and local history into a brisk 120-page narrative, perfect for adults and young adults curious about Melbourne retail culture. Archival photos and advertisements illuminate the store’s heyday, its canny promotions, and the community that rallied around the iconic red-brick façade.

The book is in very good condition—clean, tight pages with no writing or dog-ears; only a tiny mark on the publication page. A smoke-free copy ready for collectors of Australian business history, Richmond memorabilia or true Australian stories.
