A Grammar and Dictionary of Gathang by Amanda Lissarrague is a scarce hardcover reference that preserves the language and culture of the Gathang-speaking people of coastal New South Wales. Illustrated throughout, this scholarly volume pairs linguistic analysis with cultural context, making it essential for students of Aboriginal languages and Australian heritage alike.

The book’s sturdy binding remains tight and square, and aside from light foxing on the first and last few leaves, the pages are fresh and unmarked. No notes, no dog-ears—just a clean copy ready for serious study or display.

Collectors of Australiana, linguists, and regional historians prize this title for its meticulous documentation of a living language. Its presence on the shelf signals both academic depth and respect for First Nations knowledge.

From a smoke-free home and now looking for its next caretaker, this gently used Australian first edition offers both research utility and shelf appeal.
