Robert Paddle’s The Last Tasmanian Tiger is a gripping 2002 Cambridge University Press trade paperback that traces the extinction and enduring cultural echo of Australia’s thylacine.

This copy carries a neat front-paper inscription and remains tightly bound with clean pages and a smooth spine; only light cover scuffs reveal its previous shelf life. Coming from a smoke-free home, it is ready for immediate reading or display.
Ideal for collectors of Australian history, animal welfare studies, or anyone curious about the world’s most famous marsupial predator, this accessible narrative invites you to explore how the last Tasmanian tiger slipped from scientific curiosity to legend.
