1 Case-study : Rigby Limited Michael Page , 2006 single work criticism
— Appears in: Paper Empires : A History of the Book in Australia 1946-2005 2006; (p. 41-43) 'Rigby legend has it that in 1853 William Charles Rigby, the nineteen -year -old assistant to a London bookseller, joined his father-in-law in buying a small ship to sail to the Australian goldfields. They reached Melbourne safely but the story doesn't say what hap- pened to Rigby's family or how he managed to open an Adelaide bookshop in 1859. But for fifty years he was a successful retailer of books for all ages, schoolbooks, toys and games, stationery, British magazines and occasional books published under his own imprint, such as the first history of South Australia.'
