AustLit

'One of Australia's most valuable collections of books on Aboriginal art was presented to the library of the University of South Australia in August because the University is the first in any country to establish a faculty of Aboriginal and Islander Studies. Mrs Margaret Carnegie, author and art connoisseur, has taken her several decades to build at a ceremony at the city campus.'

'Keith Saunders knocked 'em dead when he appeared at the Australian Book Fair at the Sydney Exhibition Centre in June. Now Aboriginal Studies Press has released his book, Learning the Ropes, a fast-paced, funny autobiography which includes some electrifying first-hand accounts of great Australian fights.'

'Did you ever wonder why the roughtail lizard's tall is rough, why crows are black or why emus have short wings? Tjarany Roughtail will tell you this and much more. For those interested in Aboriginal Dreamtime stories, Aboriginal culture and language, Tjarany Roughtail is an essential addition to your book collection'.

'I was struck by the comedy of this production but disappointed because it was not utilised to maximise its ability to deliver its message.'
