Next Door to Paradise, by Bill Beatty

Published by Cassell Australia in 1965, this 14 x 22 cm hardcover book with intact dust jacket is “a fascinating mixture of dramatic history and present day facts” (well present day as at 1965!) about the many and varied coastal islands around the Australian continent. 212 pages with photographs throughout, some in colour, the dust jacket is showing signs of wear but the internals are still in very good condition.
