Access Denied: A Bibliography of Suppressed Australian Literature
AU$80.00 Read MoreAdd to cartGeoffrey Cains
Sydney: Longueville Media, 2021.“Book collector and scholar Dr Geoffrey Cains wrote this groundbreaking bibliography of suppressed Australian books after frequently reading in rare book catalogues that certain books were ‘suppressed’. This word raised several questions: What lay behind the suppression? Who instigated it? And who benefitted from it? Over a period of thirty years, he sought out these books, delving into the circumstances of their suppression and collecting 184 that had a credible and interesting back story. Until Access Denied, there has not been a bibliography or even a listing of these works. They do not have catalogue entries in any of the state libraries in Australia. Indeed, there appears to be no international database of suppressed books in existence. Certainly, censored books are listed and have bibliographies devoted to them, but censorship is a state–based and politically driven action that, when modified by changing community standards and mores, may be relaxed over time. In contrast, suppression seeks to permanently remove a book from access by the average reader. Access Denied is the story of these near-invisible books.” (publisher’s blurb)

Food of the Gods: Hypernutrition for Sport
AU$40.00 Read MoreAdd to cartHenry Osiecki
Kelvin Grove: Bio Concepts, 1989.According to Henry Osiecki, his model of “hypernutrition does for sporting performance what turbocharging does for motor cars.” Aimed at democratising the knowledge required to turn your average Joe into a supercompetitor, this book charts a course from carb loading and weight control through to vitamins, electrolytes, overtraining and beyond. Filled with diagrams, statistics and plain English know-how, ‘Food of the Gods’ is a means to transform anyone into their ideal self. Foreword by Laurie Lawrence.

AU$500.00 Read MoreAdd to cartTed Gott; Angela Hesson; Myles Russell-Cook; Pip Wallis; Meg Slater
Melbourne: Council of Trustees of the National Gallery of Victoria, 2022.“Queer: Stories from the NGV Collection is more than an exhibition catalogue. This 628-page publication expands on the themes explored in the NGV’s Queer exhibition to document the queer past, present and future of the NGV collection. More than 60 essays from authors with comprehensive knowledge of the historical and contemporary subjects encompassed by the NGV’s Queer project are presented alongside stunning reproductions of more than 200 works from the NGV collection, either by queer artists or engaging with queer issues. The essays in Queer: Stories from the NGV Collection explore the history of LGBTQ+ activism; the creation of queer spaces and communities; queerness as an artistic strategy; the expression of love, desire and sensuality; queer aesthetics; and the concepts of camp and the fantastic.” (publisher’s blurb) This extensive monograph catalogue sold out in the year of publication and has not been reprinted.

A History of LGBTIQ+ Victoria in 100 Places and Objects
AU$50.00 Read MoreAdd to cartGraham Willett; Angela Bailey; Timothy W. Jones; Sarah Rood
Melbourne: Australian Queer Archives and Heritage Victoria, 2021.“A History of LGBTIQ+ Victoria in 100 Places and Objects was commissioned by Heritage Victoria to highlight the rich, diverse and unique history of queer communities in Victoria and to demonstrate how these communities are reflected in the places, objects and landscapes that surround us. Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer, asexual, sistergirl and brotherboy (LGBTIQ+) people are, and always have been, an integral part of Victorian social, political and cultural life. However, the experiences and voices of queer communities have not commonly been included in the historical record and, consequently, queer heritage has remained largely invisible. This report identifies 100 places, objects and collections that have specific and unique meaning to VictoriaÂ’s contemporary queer communities. Identifying and exploring the meaning of these places, objects and collections to members of the LGBTIQ+ communities who have suggested them adds depth and richness to VictoriaÂ’s history and heritage. It also makes visible the stories and experiences of communities that have, until recently, been ignored and at times actively persecuted.” (publisher’s blurb)
