Sheer Grit: Being a True & Very Amusing Account of the Adventures by A Murdoch is a first‑edition hardcover first published in 1984 by New South Wales University Press. This vintage Australian memoir blends history, biography and true‑story narrative, making it appealing to readers from ages nine through adult.
The book offers an entertaining non‑fiction look at Australian life, presented as a lively autobiography that captures local history and cultural anecdotes. Its engaging style and illustrated pages give a vivid sense of the era and the author’s personal adventures.
A dust jacket protects the illustrated volume, and the presence of an inscription adds a unique touch to the item’s provenance. The copy shows minor writing on the front and back inner covers, the publication page, and light markings on pages 89‑107, but these do not detract from its readability.
Overall the book is in solid vintage condition, with the dust jacket and illustrations intact, offering a charming piece for collectors of Australian history, memoirs and antiquarian titles.
