"JIGSAW, The Biography of Johannes Bjelke-Petersen, Statesman - Not Politician" by Derek Townsend, hardcover with dust wrapper, First Edition 1983, 376 pages, 9" x 6", well illustrated including several motoring related photos) in b&w.
"Noted author Derek Townsend unfolds a biographical story with
sensitivity, wit and humor. Johannes Bjelke-Petersen, born in 1911,
became Premier in the Australian State of Queensland in 1968. He was,
and still is, one of the most powerful and controversial politicians
not only in Queensland but Australia. He has always attracted a barrage
of media coverage that has labeled him many unpleasant names such as
'the hillbilly dictator', 'bible bashing bastard', 'the kick-them-down
preacher'."
The book has no names or inscriptions and remains in excellent condition in all respects. The dust wrapper (not price clipped) is also excellent with no chips or tears.
A superb example this biography of a famous Australian with several detailed motoring references and several great photos, including the B-J's first car in Australia, Joh's Indian Chief, Cletrac bull-dozer, Joh's home-built car, early tractor etc.
Fixed proper packing and postage, US$9.00 within Australia and AIRMAIL anywhere else for US$31.00, but less for New Zealand and for Surface Mail. I shall happily combine lots to reduce postage costs. You can see from my feedback that I'm regarded as a careful packer and a prompt shipper etc.
