College Park, Adelaide: Savvas Publishing, 1993. 2.65 kg; 401 pages, illustrated end pages, and the majority of the pages starting page 9 illustrated with black-and-white photographs, and cartoons taken from the Truth newspaper during the last 100 plus years. Illustrated dustwrapper. The dustwrapper has several largish tears on the front panel, one of which has been poorly repaired with tape. In Melbourne, when you talk of The Truth newspaper, everyone immediately thinks of the buxom unclad woman on page 3, and of scurrilous yellow journalism. Sure, they had the tits and bums, but then so do the other major papers in Melbourne, you just have to look a little more closely to find them. Often leading the way in investigative journalism, and often trumping the larger papers because of their devoted attendance at the courts, The Truth, catered to the high-end, and the low end of the market at the same time. The other papers could never claim that. Please note that this book will weigh more than 1 kg packed, and extra postage will be requested for delivery outside of Australia.. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Good. Illus. by Various. Folio. Journalism.
