Booktopia Comments: A hardcover book the size of a normal mass market small format paperback. Because of its small size it is like you are holding a journal when you are reading it. Inside there are plenty of precious quotes, observations and reflections that give us an insight in to the goings on of a writer and what they were thinking before they wrote any bestsellers. A particularly worthy gift for someone whom enjoys literature and reading.

A privileged and fascinating glimpse into a writer's life, taken from the working notebooks of Murray Bail, acclaimed author of EUCALYPTUS (Winner of the Commonwealth Writers and Miles Frankin Awards), HOLDEN'S PERFORMANCE and HOMESICKNESS, encompassing three continents and spanning thirty years. From overheard conversations, to favourite aphorisms, to brilliant observations of people and places, to Bail's musings on art, literature and landscape, Notebooks is a feast of beautiful words and intriguing thoughts from one of the world's most original and important writers.

Six small notebooks, yellow with blue lettering "Spirax No. 561", bought in Melbourne 1968 - the Indian and Afghanistan notebooks; one smaller with pink cover, bought in Bombay, now lost; eight shorthand notebooks, caramel covers, London 1970-74; one, used during the first American visit, 1972, lost. Entries here have been taken, with some corrections, mostly from seven "London" books.'
