Roger Walker’s biography John Arthur Parkin and His Australian Family traces the rise of a colonial entrepreneur whose name still surfaces in Australian business texts. First released in 2002 as a numbered limited edition, this copy carries the crisp 1/1 dust jacket that collectors prize.

Inside, Walker blends family lore with national history, following Parkin from Cornish cabin to Adelaide boardrooms while mapping the dynasty he founded. Hardcover boards are square, pages unmarked, and the binding so tight it still creaks—a testament to two decades of careful shelving.

Only light edge rub on the jacket keeps the book from fine; otherwise it presents as unread. Perfect for Australiana buffs, genealogists, or anyone hunting a scarce first edition on South Australian enterprise.
