In addition to our quarterly meetings the Society publishes its journal, Biblionews and Australian Notes & Queries, in four issues per year. The journal typically contains an editorial, articles from contributors that may range from manuscript studies to national heritage policy, appreciations, obituaries, book reviews, photographs, notes & queries. The journal provides a bridge to connect members whether they be collectors, librarians, booksellers or book lovers or for whatever reason readers are interested in books – to have, to read and to enjoy.
Click on the Biblionews drop-down menu (above right) to read recent articles from the journal.
The Book Collectors’ Society of Australia also delivers Biblionews to libraries across Australia and overseas (NZ, US and UK).
