The Bold Riders by Trevor Sykes tracks the rise and spectacular collapse of Australia’s 1980s corporate cowboys in a fast-paced, hardcover history that reads like thriller fiction. Sykes, one of the country’s most respected financial journalists, dissects the reckless deals, egos and political friendships that fuelled the boom and bust.
This 1994 first edition from Allen & Unwin is signed by the author and arrives with its original dust jacket still bright. The boards are square and tight, pages are crisp and unmarked, and the only wear is light rubbing to the jacket edges—minor cosmetic love from nearly three decades on the shelf.
Ideal for collectors of Australian business history, true-crime finance or young adults curious about how big money can vanish overnight. Searchers after scarce signed copies of The Bold Riders will appreciate the clean, unread feel of this copy.
