AbstractHistoryArchive Description

Biblionews, the newsletter of the Book Collectors' Society of Australia, was established in April 1947 and ran until March 1964 when the long-time editor Walter Stone travelled overseas. In January 1966, the newsletter was re-issued as the quarterly Biblionews and Australian Notes & Queries, again with Stone as editor. The second series continued to publish bibliographical articles on the publications of a variety of Australian writers, but ceased production in 1972 for four years. Since 1976 it has appeared uninterrupted, and has gradually increased in size and quality. Editorial changes occurred after the deaths of Stone in 1981 and his successor John Fletcher in 1992. Brian Taylor has been the editor of Biblionews and Australian Notes and Queries since 1992.

y separately published work icon Biblionews Walter Stone (editor), 1947 Sydney : Book Collectors' Society of Australia , 1947-1964 Z867085 1947 periodical (74 issues) The Book Collectors' Society of Australia was established in March 1944. Three years later the society published the first issue of Biblionews, a members' newsletter. Issued monthly, Biblionews contained much material contributed by long-time editor Walter Stone. During the 1950s, Stone often found it difficult to attract contributions, but by the the 1960s Biblionews contained at least one article per issue. Concerned primarily with bibliography, the newsletter published articles on a variety of Australian writers from the colonial period and the twentieth century. Contributors included E. Morris Miller, Dulcie Deamer, John Ferguson, R. G. Howarth, Colin Roderick, Brian Elliot, P. R. Stephensen, Jack Lindsay, George Mackaness, A. H. Chisholm and Percival Serle. Biblionews appeared regularly due to the enthusiasm of Stone and, consequently, the newsletter ceased production when Stone went overseas in 1964. A second series with the title Biblionews and Australian Notes and Queries began in January 1966.
