It is fifty years since Percy Neville Barnett published his magnum opus on bookplates, Australian Bookplates and Bookplates of Interest to Australia.  A number of publications have appeared since then on aspects of the subject, but this is the first major contribution to the subject since that time.  Australian Personal Bookplates is the first attempt to produce a register of Australian personal bookplates and probably the first attempt of any country to produce a complete register of bookplates used.

• Register of over 5,700 personal bookplates, with descriptive details, date created, artist etc.

• Index of artists.

• Biographical details of prominent artists who have created bookplates.

• Illustrated with 138 bookplates.
