Building Stories Tasmania is an illustrated tour of Tasmania's most distinctive buildings - working waterfronts, former hydro sites, pubs, bookshops, hotels, theatres and small-town main streets - told through the people who built, worked and lived in them: convicts, clergy, brewers, booksellers and activists.
Sue Backhouse's reference work profiles Tasmanian painters, sculptors, printmakers and photographers active between 1900 and 1985, published by Pandani Press in 1988.
Jorgen Jorgenson (1780–1841) was a Danish-born adventurer who briefly ruled Iceland as a self-appointed administrator in 1809, earning him the nickname 'the Convict King'. Transported to Van Diemen's Land in 1826, he worked there as an explorer, constable — including in parties sent against Tasmanian Aboriginal people — and newspaper editor, before receiving a full pardon in 1835.

Robert Travers's 1968 account of the fate of the Aboriginal people of Tasmania — from first European contact through the Black War and the removal of the surviving population to Flinders Island, to the death of Truganini in 1876. Published in 1968, this is a vintage history of its era — it reflects the understanding and approach to Aboriginal Tasmanian history that was current at that time, before the more critical and rigorous scholarship of recent decades.
A maritime biography of Captain Edward Primrose Tregurtha, edited by Dan Sprod, with strong links to Tasmania, whaling and nineteenth-century seafaring beginning with his Royal Navy service in the Napoleonic Wars at the age of nine.
A practical guide to tying the fly patterns that form a basic collection for Tasmanian trout fishing conditions, written by Tony Sloane and published in 1986.
Rob Sloane's revised and updated edition of The Truth About Trout — first published in 1983 and considered one of the most insightful and practical books on trout fishing in Australia. Sloane's approach was always to challenge received wisdom about trout behaviour and fishing technique — the original title's premise being that much of what anglers believed about trout was incorrect or oversimplified.
