Description:
This is a book about the making - and remaking - of a city.
The demolition firm of Whelan the Wrecker was a Melbourne institution for a hundred years (1892-1992). Its famous sign - 'Whelan the Wrecker is Here' on a pile of shifting rubble - was a laconic masterpiece and served as a vital sign of the city's progress. It's no stretch to say that over three generations, the Whelan family changed the face of Melbourne, demolishing hundreds of buildings in the central city alone.
In A City Lost and Found, Robyn Annear uses Whelan's demolition sites as portals to explore layers of the city laid bare by their pick-axes and iron balls. Peering beneath the rubble, she brings to light fantastic stories about Melbourne's building sites and their many incarnations. This is a book about the making - and remaking - of a city.
'Old landmarks fall in nearly every block . . . and the face of the city is changing so rapidly that the time is not too far distant when a search for a building 50 years old will be in vain.' Herald, 1925.

Worth it.
Format: Paperback
I'm a huge flash fan so I'd been waiting for his absolute run for a while. I won't spoil anything, but the book came in perfect condition. No scuffs or scratches or bends. It was packaged well.

Science Fiction at its best.
Format: Hardcover
A hard sci-fi take on our hero. Still much to uncover in later volumes, but I am ready for the ride.

hard to go wrong with Jeff Lemire.
Format: Kindle
Take all the pieces of the puzzle that is the Flash legacy, shake them up and put them all together into a completely different picture. That gives you some idea of what is going on in this book. Not always successful but always very interesting.
