Des Tobin’s warm biography Just a Man Called Phonse introduces readers to the larger-than-life funeral director whose compassion and humour shaped a rural Australian community. First Edition hardcover with its original dust jacket still bright, this copy invites collectors and biography lovers alike to step inside the parlour and meet the man behind the hearse.

The pages are crisp and unmarked—no notes, no dog-ears—while the tight binding promises years of re-reading. The jacket carries only light shelf scuffing, so the book presents beautifully on shelf or coffee table.

Ideal for fans of memoir, true stories, or Australian social history, this 2018 Killaghy Publishing release captures the heart of small-town service. Secure this clean first printing and enjoy Phonse’s unforgettable tales of life, loss and laughter.
