The Chief C.Y. O'Connor by Merab Tauman is a 1978 hardcover biography that explores the life of the iconic Australian engineer and the history of gold mining and mechanical innovation in the 19th‑century outback. This non‑fiction title sits comfortably in the antiquarian, biography, and Australian history shelves.

A matching dust jacket is included and the binding remains tight, with no dog‑ears or tears, reflecting careful handling in a smoke‑free home. The front paper is inscribed, the page edges show some discoloring and faint foxing, and a few rare pages carry minor edge marks and stains, but overall the book is in solid vintage condition.

The narrative is geared toward both young adults and adult readers who enjoy true stories, memoirs, and political‑social context surrounding Australia’s development. Its focus on engineering, fossicking, and the personal saga of C.Y. O'Connor makes it a compelling addition for collectors of Australian history and biography.
