Tyrrell , Sydney London : Angus and Robertson , 1952 Z99470 1952 single work autobiography The memoirs of James Tyrrell (1875-1961) - famous bookman, bookseller and owner of several bookshops in Sydney during the late 19th and early 20th centuries - include his boyhood reminiscences of Sydney and his later encounters and experiences in Sydney's cultural and literary circles.
