"Kangaroo-Land" Glimpses of Australia. With Map and 71 Illustrations.
Cleveland OH: "Kilroy Harris Traveltalks" 1926. Hardcover. 88p., presswork on glazed alkaline paperstock throughout featuring a doublespread map (where to graze sheep, where cattle, where to plant wheat) centerfold, and many b&w site and portrait photos. Hardbound in 9x6 inch dark blue cloth boards gilt, a very good copy: sturdy and flat, top and tail rims show a little color-loss, otherwise absolutely sound, clean, and free of any markings besides an authorial inscription signed and dated 1932.
Capt. Kilroy published several other books on down-under, all issued in the US, all derived from US radio and live public lectures. The item in hand is likewise addressed to Americans, and to Canadians; in-text and in the appended ads, steamship passage is urged.
