This family-run business has been selling a Series of books on Australian Social History since 2007. The Series starts in 1939, and there is one Title per year until 1973. Thus there are 35 Titles in the Series.
The books were written by Ron Williams who studied the newspapers day-by-day for a particular year, and then condensed the information into a book for that year.
The books are all A5, black and white, with interesting colour covers. There are no charts or graphs or heavy debate. Just facts and opinions and lots of absurd and bold comments. Very nostalgic, a bit irreverent, for the older reader.
They make great gifts for Mothers Day, birthdays, Christmas, and the like.
They are reasonably priced, selling at a much lower price than other books of the same calibre.

THE FORTIES (1939 to 1949)
1939. By year’s end, most of Europe ganged up on Hitler, and a phony war had millions of men idling in trenches eating their Christmas turkeys. Back home in Oz, the drunkometer was breathlessly awaited, pigeon pies were on the nose, our military canteens were sometimes wet and sometimes dry. Nasho via a lottery was back for young men, Sinatra led his bobby-soxers, while girls of all ages swooned for crooner Bing. Wirelesses were as big as wall TVs are now.
1940. The Brits had military disasters in Norway, Belgium and Tobruk. German subs sank British shipping, and the Frogs stopped fighting. The Hun Blitzed London. But, against all odds, the Poms survived. In Oz, the Menzies Government rationed food, clothing, petrol, butter, sugar, smokes and shirt tails. It introduced conscription for able-bodied men, internment for Italian men, and banned pink icing on cakes.
