They cover the period for 1939 to 1968, with one book for each year. Thus there are 30 books.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTo capture the material for each book, the author, Ron Williams, worked his way through the \u003cem\u003eSydney Morning Herald\u003c\/em\u003e and the \u003cem\u003eAge\/Argus\u003c\/em\u003e day-by-day, and picked out the best stories, ideas and trivia. He then wrote them up into 176 pages of a year-book. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHe writes in a direct conversational style, he has avoided statistics and charts, and has produced easily-read material that is entertaining, and instructive, and charming.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThey are invaluable as gifts for birthdays, Christmas, and anniversaries, and for the oldies who are hard to buy for. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThese books are available at all major retailers. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote.\u003c\/strong\u003e Throughout this book, I rely a lot on reproducing \u003cstrong\u003eLetters from the newspapers\u003c\/strong\u003e. Whenever I do this, I put the text in a different font, and indent it a little, and make the font somewhat smaller. \u003cstrong\u003eI do not edit the text at all.\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eThe same is true for the\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003eNews Items\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003e \u003c\/em\u003eat the start of each Chapter.\u003c\/strong\u003e That is, I do not correct spelling or if the text gets at all garbled, I do not correct it. It's just as it was seen in the Papers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSecond Note.\u003c\/strong\u003e The \u003cstrong\u003ematerial\u003c\/strong\u003e for this book, when it comes from newspapers, is reported as it was seen at the time. If the benefit of hindsight over the years changes things, then I might record that in my Comments. \u003cstrong\u003eThe info reported thus reflects matters as they were seen in 1949. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThird Note.\u003c\/strong\u003e Let me also apologise in advance to anyone I might offend. In a work such as this, it is certain some people will think \u003cstrong\u003eI got some things wrong. I am sure that I did\u003c\/strong\u003e, but please remember, all of this is only my opinion.
