Quarto, xii, 132 pages with numerous illustrations plus 8 pages of colour plates (some being from drawings or paintings by the authors).

'There are those who like their Beauty fashionable, classic, ordered, tame, 'Beautiful', civilised, sophisticated, universal.
There are those who like their Beauty wild, careless of man, or his preferences, unexpected, challenging, primeval, regional.
Let's not confuse these two approaches in Australia. Both are beautiful.
But you have to fight like buggary [sic] to save the second. Neil & Abbie'.
