HARD - Rugby League In The 70s
By Graeme Hughes, Tony Loxley, Peter Peters
The decade of the 70s in rugby league is today acknowledged as one of the toughest eras of the game - tough, hardened men playing a game that never let up for eighty solid minutes.
Most who played rugby league in first grade within the NSWRL competition worked five days a week and did their best to get to training on time three times a week, a scenario now long lost in the game.
But that’s how it was: the time spent playing the game was HARD to say the least -at its worst, it was brutal beyond all comprehension.
Canterbury Bankstown Bulldogs rugby league great Graeme Hughes, who played throughout this era, along with Tony Loxley, Will Evans and Tony Adams, have accumulated former players memories, anecdotes and mountains of images and memorabilia that tells the tale of the 70s in rugby league exactly as it was.

Spotto
The Great Australian Car Game
By Spotty McSpotterson
This book gives a tongue-in-cheek framework for guidelines about the game of Spotto, plus delves into the deep philosophy and culture of what is Australia’s favorite in-car game. The reader is invited to understand and define their own specific rules for a game that is always different for everyone.
For example: what makes a car spottable? Where did the game come from? How do you play? (And why are the rules always different?). Can you spot parked cars? Do trucks count? How hard can I punch?
The reader is taken on a journey through history, philosophy and even theories concerning the definition of the colour yellow. Highly illustrated, this book will delight Spotto lovers everywhere.

By Steve Reid
The motor industry in Australia is more diverse than many of us realize. Even the British Motor Corporation (BMC) had a brief crack at breaking into the Aussie market.
This book looks at 50-odd individual cars that have been carefully restored and maintained here in Australia, covering a wide range of types and models.
They are not all purely 100% Australian born, but they are all models or variations that were only originally available in the Aussie and New Zealand markets.
Sadly, the Australian motor industry is no more, with no cars being assembled in any shape or form.
This book takes us back in time to when cars and commercial vehicles were being successfully produced in Australia - and sometimes assembled in New Zealand.
