Notes

Australian prints. Olsen, John, 1928-. Biographies (ANB/PRECIS SIN 0475300)

Col. ill. on lining papers.

Also issued in a limited ed. of 100 bound in leather with an original work.

A disagreement between Olsen and the publisher Richard Griffin over the quality of the product saw Griffin pull the book from sale and pulp the entire edition. However two or three copies survived and these suppressed copies includes a crossed out t.p. with the word cancelled written on it. The title was successfully released later in 1980.

Library's SR copy is no.78 with a signed etching. This copy is not one of the suppressed ones.
