Biography & Memoir Sport & Recreation Australiana
Manly Rugby Sun, Surf & Scrums by Wavell Wakefield takes readers onto the famous Sydney beach where salt air meets scrum machine. This 2015 hardcover chronicles the club’s colourful characters, epic matches, and the coastal lifestyle that shaped one of Australia’s most iconic rugby teams.
The 482-page volume is wrapped in a bright dust jacket that still looks crisp on the shelf. Inside, the pages are clean, unmarked, and free of dog ears; a tight binding means the book opens confidently for browsing or research.
Minor foxing appears only on the front endpapers and publication page, leaving the main text block fresh and readable. Housed in a smoke-free environment, this copy offers collectors and fans a sturdy, presentable edition without writing or tears.
Ideal for lovers of Australian sports history, beach culture, and true club stories, this antiquarian-grade hardcover delivers both nostalgia and insight. Add it to your rugby library and experience the sun, surf, and scrums that define Manly.
