A Torrent of Words. Leon Gellert: a Writer's Life
Deakin, Brindabella Press, 1996.
Octavo, 80 pages with 8 tipped-in duotone plates.
Silver-pictorial cloth; a fine copy with the fine original plain Mylar dustwrapper.
Number 197 of 270 copies, signed by the author. The twenty-third - and last - book of the Brindabella Press. Loosely inserted is a manuscript note from the publisher Alec Bolton to the original purchaser, as well as a newspaper obituary, by Gavin Souter, of Alec Bolton, who died suddenly of a heart attack on 18 November 1996, aged 70. The manuscript note, routine in normal events, is here all the more poignant: 'Dear Mr Sinclair, Many thanks - hope you like the book. Please let me know if you would like to be on my mailing list for future announcements. Of course I appreciate that you may have a special interest in Gavin Souter, or Leon Gellert. Yours, Alec Bolton'.
