1983 A Letter From Sydney by Ray Lindsay Australian Literary History Book Ltd Ed

A Letter From Sydney
By Ray Lindsay to his Brother Jack
Published by The Jester Press Pty Ltd: Melbourne 1983
Limited Edition, Numbered Copy 257 of 1100

" A Letter From Sydney is an evocative piece of Australian literary and social history, reproducing a long letter written by Ray Lindsay to his brother Jack and recalling their lives in Sydney during the 1920s and 1930s. Running to approximately 13,500 words in its original form, the letter preserves Lindsay's personal memories of the city, its people and the wider social world in which the brothers moved.

Edited by John Arnold, the text was prepared from the original manuscript with only limited excisions and minor editorial changes, while explanatory notes correct factual or naming errors where required. The result is an intimate first-hand account, valuable both for its connection with the Lindsay family and for its depiction of Sydney life between the wars.

Published by The Jester Press in Melbourne on 1 June 1983, this first edition was issued in a total limitation of 1,100 numbered copies. The present example is copy number 257, forming part of the standard issue of 1,000 copies, printed letterpress on Carnival Antique Finish paper and bound in stiff overlapping covers with printed wrapper. An appealing limited-edition Australian private press publication with strong literary, social-history and Lindsay-family interest."
