| THE TIMELESS LAND by Eleanor Dark
Copyright 1941 Macmillan Company 499 pagesUp for auction is a great hardcover copy of an historical fiction book about the discovery of Australia by white men. The spine is of a different color than the rest of the cover of the book--perhaps faded on the shelf, or perhaps intentional. (see photos) There is some foxing in the pictorial interior cover pages, and the interior pages are showing signs of yellowing. Several of the pages near the back of the book have been dogeared, as if a reader may have flipped the book on its face when it was opened to those pages, and folded them. (see photos) There are no other issues with the condition of the book. The spine is tight, and all pages are intact. This is possibly a first edition.At the end of the book is a 3-page index of aboriginal words and phrases. The interior covers depict an actual reproduction of a 1791 survey of the land contiguous to Port Jackson.
