The Money Miners: Australia's Mining Boom 1969-1970 by Trevor Sykes dissects the wild share-market ride that turned modest mining hopefuls into overnight millionaires and reshaped the national economy. This hardcover first edition captures the drama of nickel, iron and oil rushes from the investor's and geologist's viewpoints, making it a cornerstone text for collectors of Australian business history.

What makes this copy stand out is the bold signature of the late financial journalist himself on the title page, a rare bonus for fans of market lore. The 388-page narrative remains tight and unmarked inside, while the original dust jacket shows only light edge scuffing and a hint of laminate lift—honest wear that speaks of four decades on the shelf.

Vintage finance enthusiasts, mining buffs and local-history detectives alike hunt for Sykes' out-of-print chronicle, especially in signed first state. Secure a piece of the 1970s boom before prices echo the nickel shares it profiles.
