This magnificent book...is a valuable addition to [Launceston’s] recorded history...it will prove a good investment.
Launceston Examiner, November 25 2006

This book is a stunning example of what can be achieved by dedicated and creative self-publishers. For the Record, and its gorgeous sensibility, is the equal of anything produced in Australia this year. This book transcends boundaries and belongs to all readers who value good design, cultural history and our heritage.
