Biography & Memoir Sport & Recreation Australiana
The Midas Man TJ by Kevin Perkins is a 1993 first‑edition paperback that blends biography, Australian history and the world of equestrian sport. Written for both young adults and adults, this non‑fiction work explores the culture of horse riding, field sports and animal photography across Australia’s modern era.
Perkins weaves true‑story narrative with vivid accounts of horse racing, field events and the people behind them, offering readers insight into the sporting heritage and leisure pursuits that shaped a generation. The book’s 350 pages provide a thorough yet accessible look at the intersections of sport, history and animal life.
The volume includes its original dust jacket and features an inscription on the front paper, adding a personal touch to the copy. Minor foxing appears only on the closed page edges, while the pages remain clean, tidy and free of dog‑ears or tears; the binding is tight and the book comes from a smoke‑free home.
Collectors and fans of Australian sports biographies will appreciate this well‑preserved, vintage title that captures a unique slice of 1990s leisure and contemporary history.
