The Money Miners Australia's Mining Boom 1969-1970

History Australiana Business & Economics

First-edition copy of Trevor Sykes’ The Money Miners, the classic 1978 exposé of Australia’s 1969–70 mining boom. Sykes blends sharp finance writing with vivid bush history, tracking the stock-market mania that reshaped the Outback economy.

This hardcover arrives with its original dust jacket (a little scuffed, as is common) and—rare for this title—has been personally signed by the author on the title page. Pages are clean, binding tight, making it a solid shelf candidate for collectors of Australiana or mining memorabilia.

Ideal for readers hunting Australian mining history, economic non-fiction, or vintage business narratives. Searchers after Sykes-signed firsts will know how seldom they surface; grab this one before it heads underground again.
