Close to the Edge is Allan Nelson’s gritty 1992 autobiography, tracing a turbulent coming-of-age across Australia’s backroads and prisons. Told with raw honesty, the memoir blends true-crime tension with social history, giving readers an unfiltered look at life on the margins of Australian society.

This ex-library trade paperback carries the authentic patina of a well-travelled book: laminated cover still bright, pages tight and fully readable, just a few stamps and corner stains hinting at its previous life. A personal inscription from the previous owner adds a unique touch for collectors of signed or personalised copies.

Ideal for young adults and adults drawn to Australian history, biography, or real-life stories of resilience, Close to the Edge remains a compelling window into 1970s–80s Australia. Grab this affordable reading copy and own a piece of home-grown true-crime history.
