It fills a long-felt need among those historical society members who lack confidence in their ability to produce a work that is acceptable to publishers and to their potential readership. It is a work that is packed with advice and information on all aspects of printed and electronic publication embracing such topics as planning and financing a project, self-publishing, the structure and elements of a history book, use of illustrations, editing and design, identification and access requirements and selling the finished product. There is also a section for those societies that can afford to pay for the services of a historian to write a local history. The authors are to be congratulated. They have followed their own advice and produced a work that is not only informative but is well organised and easy to read. Following distribution to historical societies across the nation limited surplus copies are available for purchase at $12 per copy including postage and GST. These can be obtained by forwarding a cheque/money order to the Administrative Officer, Federation of Australian Historical Societies, GPO Box 1440, Canberra, ACT, 2601. </div> </td> </tr></table></body>
