1 3 y separately published work icon Final Proof : Memoirs of a Publisher Peter Ryan , Balmain : Quadrant Books , 2010 Z1749237 2010 single work autobiography 'Melbourne University Press was established in 1923, and the distinction of its authors, and the quality of the design and production of the Press’s books became acknowledged around the world. These memoirs offer a series of sparkling vignettes by the man who counts as blessed his twenty-six years as MUP’s Director. Readers will be charmed (occasionally amused, even shocked) by intimate glimpses of the Press’s galaxy of authors: poets from James McAuley to A.D. Hope; scientists from Nobel winner Macfarlane Burnet to Gustav Nossal; historians from Geoffrey Blainey to Paul Hasluck – and to Manning Clark.' (Publisher's blurb)
