24.01.2022 I have had a request for opening hours and price range. Please note that this is not a full time business, and my hours are "various" and flexible, and when I am running book stalls at rallies and exhibitions, I will not be able to answer the phone, but will be running long hours at the exhibition. Price range from very low to quite high, depending on what you want to purchase. We like to think our prices are fair and reasonable, but are sometimes constrained by the pricing structure of our suppliers.

22.01.2022 Let's build our own The Story of the Rhodes Ridley by Terry Joyce "Before we didn't know we couldn't" The Rhodes Ridley was commissioned in 1958. Unfortunately, during its construction, laws governing the roads in the outback of WA were changed. This piece of bureaucratic procedure sounded the death knell of the mighty Rhodes Ridley truck, along with an era in road transport, decades before its time. This magnificent behemouth that emerged from chalk marks on a floor was robb...ed of the opportunity to have a very proud past, and to make a huge contribution to the earlier development of mining and transport in Western Australia. We can never know its potential. Despite this setback Don Rhodes led his company with characteristic determination and successfully pressed on. The truck used ex military WWII General Grant tank engines (twin pack 6-71 GMs) and transmission parts fitted to a fabricated chassis and casting made specifically for the project. 143 pages $38.00 + $6.60 postage

19.01.2022 The LeTourneau Legend by Philip G. Gowenlock This is a history of one of the most famous of the American earthmoving equipment manufacturers, R.G. Letourneau, Inc. The book is the history of the company from the early 1920's, and follows the Company's expansion into the 1950's when it employed over 5000 employees and had four factories in the U.S.A. and one in Australia. It finishes with brief details of what happened to the Letourneau organisation. R.G. Letourneau changed t...he face of earthmoving with the development of scrapers, scrapers where the prime machine that put him into the earthmoving business, originally towed behind dozers, he later developed suitable tyres for earthmoving use, and this lead to the self propelled and self loading scrapers that we know today. This books not only describes the history of the company, but also describes the history of the development of the scraper. Also described are many other machines built by Letourneau, some practical, some not so practical. There are large forest clearing machines, tractor and road train combinations for use in the arctic circle, rubber tyred bulldozers, tree pushers, and many more. Hardcover, 315 photos.

12.01.2022 The LeTourneau Archive by Philip G. Gowenlock THE LETOURNEAU ARCHIVE is a companion book to The LeTourneau Legend and is a pictorial reference guide to identify the machines designed and built by R.G. LeTourneau, Inc from 1920 to 1998. This complete photographic archive covers the early years from 1920 to 1953 (up until the sale of the company to WABCO in 1953) and continues the following years up until the sale of the company to Marathon in 1971 and beyond. It contains 280 f...ull page photographs of LeTourneau equipment including earthmoving, land clearing, heavy transportation, materials handling and lifting equipment, mobile off-shore drilling platforms, and a number of futuristic designs that were on the drawing board in the late 1960s but not developed or built. It is widely accepted that R.G LeTourneau is considered the "Father" of modern day earthmoving practice and equipment. This book describes in photographic form, the machines LeTourneau designed and built. Some were one-off, experimental or prototype machines, while others were built in their thousands and became industry standard for earthmoving contractors all over the world, for decades. For quick reference and identification, author Philip G Gowenlock has provided model identification and general technical specifications for each machine featured. The LeTourneau Archive is a high quality hard bound book - a "Must Have" to complete your heavy equipment reference library. Code No. 008531, 288 pages, ISBN 0958560803, $80.00 + postage $10.45

10.01.2022 Leader Trucks The Australian Challenger Including Western Transport and the early years of Mack Australia by Bob Laurent cover photo Author: Rob Laurent NOW OUT OF PRINT, NO MORE STOCK AVAILABLE ... Leader trucks have a unique place in Australia's transport history; they were the only trucks produced in significant numbers by a wholly Australian company. The many models offered by this firm ranged from 12 ton, 4-wheel cab-overs up to 250-ton heavy-haulage bonneted tractors - some of the most powerful road-going vehicles available at the time. Cyril Anderson, the man behind Leader, also created such national icons as Western Transport and Mack Trucks Australia. He believed that Australians could build a truck that was as good as anything else in the world. The many Leaders still operating today show how right he was. Leader Trucks: The Australian Challenger traces the history of these vehicles back to the beginning, when a champion motorcycle racer began a one-man carrying service in 1934. This book is a truck enthusiast's dream. It contains many hitherto unknown facts about the Australian transport industry during the period from the 1930s to the 1980s; facts related to the author by former employees of Western Transport, Mack Australia and Leader. Also featured are hundreds of colour and black-and-white illustrations of rare and historic vehicles supplied by the men who once worked for Cyril Anderson. The book also contains specifications for all Leader models, sales brochures and other memorabilia. One chapter is devoted to Leaders still working today in diverse carrying roles. Leader Trucks: The Australian Challenger is good value for the price. It's a high-quality hard-cover book with 226 section-sewn pages that won't come loose. It is A4 size and printed on durable matt art paper. Code No. 012143, 225 pages, ISBN 9780958192118, $52.50

08.01.2022 Visions of Victoria The Magic of Kodachrome Film 1950-1975 by Nick Anchen Melbourne underwent great changes in the decades following World War II, with rapid population growth and mass migration during the 1950s and '60s forever altering the face of the city. Despite the changes, Melbourne in this period was often considered to be idyllic, with an ease of life, and a strong sporting and social culture. Kodachrome 35mm film became commercially available in Australia in the ear...ly 1950s, and with its vibrant colours and grainless quality, it rapidly became the film of choice for many photographers. Melbourne, with its wide, tree-lined streets and fabulous 1880s architecture, was a natural subject for photographers of the period. So too were regional cities such as Ballarat and Bendigo, along with many of the state's attractive country towns and picturesque rural landscapes. Visions of Victoria is a journey back in time to a very different place - with red trains and green trams, Moomba parades, FJ Holdens and men wearing hats - viewed through the wonders of Kodachrome, the world's most beautiful film. FEATURES INCLUDE: The Kodachrome Story Melbourne Street Scenes Melbourne's Architecture 1954 Royal Visit 1956 Olympic Games Flinders Street station Melbourne Cricket Ground The 1972 Melbourne Flood Moomba parades Melbourne Suburbs, Ballarat, Bendigo and Country Victoria Plus features on Melbourne's railways, tramways, shipping and aviation. Limited edition hard cover with stylish dust jacket. Quality 157 gsm matt art paper with spot varnish finish. 184 pages, 240 mm x 300 mm landscape $69.95 + $10.45 postage
