Seville The Vision And The Reality 100 Years 1886-

Biography & Memoir History Local & Regional History

Seville: The Vision and the Reality 100 Years 1886–1986 is a scarce first-edition local history by Australian author Trevor Jones, issued in a numbered hardback to celebrate the Seville Centenary. Only 96 pages yet packed with photographs and first-hand accounts, the book charts the transformation of a small farming settlement outside Melbourne into a thriving Yarra Valley township.

Collectors prize this 1986 release for its tight binding, clean pages, and intact dust jacket; the copy offered here is no exception. Light scuffing and shallow indents on the glossy jacket are noted, while the boards beneath remain square and unwarped. A prior owner has penned a neat gift inscription on the front pastedown, and the official Seville Centenary stamp confirms its place in the limited numbered run.

Ideal for enthusiasts of Victorian regional history, Australian centenary memorabilia, or anyone named Trevor Jones on the hunt for their own out-of-print titles. The slim format makes it an easy shelf companion to other local histories or a thoughtful gift for a Seville expatriate. Dust jacket now protected, ready for immediate postage from a smoke-free home.
