Tom Molomby’s Ratten: The Web of Circumstance is a scarce Australian true-crime biography that dissects one of the country’s most controversial court cases. First published by Outback Press, this vintage paperback gives collectors a firsthand look at legal history through the eyes of the barrister who lived it.

This copy carries a warm personal inscription and a vintage patina that fans of antiquarian Australiana love. Expect edge rubs, a small front-cover tear, and gentle page tanning consistent with four decades on the shelf; the tight, un-dog-eared binding still invites a comfortable read.

Five Q&A pages show neat pen edits, yet every word remains clear, adding character rather than hindering enjoyment. No ex-library marks or smoke odours—just the mellow scent of aged paper from a smoke-free home.

An affordable entry point for collectors of Australian legal memoirs, crime non-fiction, or personalised vintage paperbacks. Secure this inscribed Ratten biography before it crawls into another collection.
