K. Beddie, brings together the most comprehensive listing of published material relating to Captain James Cook, his voyages, and the broader world of 18th‑century Pacific exploration. The work catalogues books, journals, manuscripts, charts, pamphlets, and contemporary accounts, providing researchers with a structured guide to the vast body of literature generated by Cook's expeditions. The second edition expands and refines the original 1928 Mitchell Library bibliography, incorporating decades of new scholarship and discoveries.\n   \u003c\/div\u003e\n   \u003cdiv\u003e\n    \u003cbr\u003e\n   \u003c\/div\u003e\n   \u003cdiv\u003e\n    Beddie's meticulous organisation allows readers to trace the evolution of Cook historiography, from early Admiralty publications and eyewitness narratives to later biographical studies, scientific analyses, and cultural interpretations. Each entry is annotated with publication details, variant editions, and contextual notes, making the bibliography not only a reference tool but also a map of how Cook's legacy has been documented, debated, and reinterpreted over time. The inclusion of rare and obscure items further enhances its value for collectors and academic researchers.\n   \u003c\/div\u003e\n   \u003cdiv\u003e\n    \u003cbr\u003e\n   \u003c\/div\u003e\n   \u003cdiv\u003e\n    As a publication of the Library of New South Wales, the volume reflects the institution's central role in preserving Cook-related material and supporting Pacific scholarship. The 1970 second edition stands as a foundational resource for anyone studying Cook's voyages, maritime history, or the early European encounter with the Pacific. Its careful scholarship and broad scope ensure its continued relevance as both a bibliographic landmark and a testament to Cook's enduring historical significance.\"\n   \u003c\/div\u003e\n  \u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003c\/font\u003e\n \u003cdiv\u003e\n  \u003cfont face=\"Arial\" size=\"4\"\u003e\n   \u003cbr\u003e\n  \u003c\/font\u003e\n \u003c\/div\u003e\n \u003cdiv\u003e\n  \u003cfont face=\"Arial\" size=\"4\"\u003e\n   \u003cdiv style=\"\"\u003e\n    Minor wear to dust jacket otherwise very good condition overall.
