Trevor Sykes’ The Official History of Blue Sky Mines is a 1996 first-edition paperback that mixes Australian mining lore with sharp economic insight and tongue-in-cheek humour. This illustrated, 165-page narrative charts the real-world rise and occasional fall of one of the country’s most colourful resource ventures, making it a must-have for collectors of Australiana, business histories and dry Aussie wit.

The book is in good, gently-flicked-through shape: pages are clean and unmarked, the binding is tight, and no previous owner has left notes or dog-ears. Light foxing spots the closed page edges and occasionally peeks onto a margin, yet the text block remains fresh and fully readable. A smoke-free home has kept the paper supple and free of musty odours.

Ideal for enthusiasts of Australian history, mining memorabilia or economic strategy told with a wink, this vintage AFR Books release adds shelf presence and conversation value to any true-stories library. Secure this scarce first printing while it’s still available.
