Barbara Pertzel’s Stuart Stoneman: A Life in the Grocery Trade traces a Victorian grocer’s rise from corner shop to supermarket chain, delivering a lively piece of Australian business history. The 2005 illustrated hardback, complete with protective dust jacket, pairs archival photos with the true story of Stoneman’s ingenuity and setbacks.

Ideal for biography lovers, economics students or anyone curious about Australia’s retail past, this 279-page narrative keeps the pages turning without academic jargon. Clean, unmarked pages and a tight binding mean the book is ready to read or gift; only a 4cm tear on the rear jacket hints at its previous life on a quiet shelf.

A down-to-earth slice of Aussie enterprise, this copy comes from a smoke-free home and invites you to explore shelves, storerooms and suburban streets of the mid-20th century through one grocer’s eyes.
