Biography & Memoir History Local & Regional History
Trevor Jones’ Seville: The Vision and the Reality 1886-1986 distils a century of Australian local history into 96 crisp pages, tracking the tiny Dandenong Ranges township from hopeful settlement to quiet maturity. First-hand anecdotes, archival photos and township maps make this hardcover a go-to for collectors of Victorian regional stories.
This first edition, numbered copy arrives still in its original dust jacket and carries a gift inscription plus the official Seville Centenary stamp that marks it as part of the limited release. The jacket shows only light shelf evidence; inside, pages are unmarked, the binding tight, and no ex-library markings spoil its collectable status.
Ideal for enthusiasts of Australiana, municipal heritage or anyone named on the dedication list, the book slips neatly onto a narrow history shelf yet opens a wide window on rural Victoria. Secure a tangible slice of community memory before the numbered run is gone.
