Stonnington Thematic Environmental History by David Helms is a 2006 first-edition hardcover that charts the evolution of one of Melbourne’s most storied inner suburbs. Across 236 pages Helms blends local history, cultural studies and business development to show how landscapes, architecture and community shaped the City of Stonnington.

Collectors prize this debut printing for its sturdy binding and intact dust jacket, both present here in very-good condition. Pages are crisp, unmarked and free of foxing, while the tight spine promises years of reference use. The book comes from a smoke-free home and shows no ex-library stamps or dog-ears.

Written for adult and young-adult readers, the narrative doubles as an accessible primer on Australian urban heritage and a handy guide for heritage walks around Prahran, Windsor and Malvern. Its focus on true stories and popular culture makes it equally appealing to local historians and travellers curious about Melbourne’s past.

Secure this scarce first edition now to add a respected name in Australian local history to your antiquarian shelf.
