VIII, 104 pages, illustrated with facsimiles of various newspaper articles and letters to newspapers. The book covers the 1930-2 campaign against a book tax, cites the "Florence agreement" of 1950 which called for the free exchange of ideas and knowledge, and documents the publicity campaign against the introduction of a book tax by John Howard! Little did they know that the GST was some years around the corner.
