Australian Boxing

Melbourne, Frank Hayes & Co. 1909/10

sm. 8vo., viii, 1-124, wrapps, numerous illustrations, pp 99 with slight damage lightly affecting a few letters. Illustration on following page with some pencil markings [page once detached], later cloth binding. I would suggest that it basically complete as far as the main text goes with th lost pages not holding any information

lacking i-ii [which may just be illustrations or non essential text and pp125 which comparing to another copy is a list of champions since Figg to Johnson 1909, and the outer wrapper. It contains some rare photographs of boxers, and a short history of the Australian prize ring - a rare item and desirable even with the outlined faults. Hartley only calls for 120 pages, an error
