In an Australian context, Tasmania still retains its colonial past through architecture. The author, Kathleen Cocker has edeavoured to record in this book the history of many of the old houses, cottages, churches, and Inns - particularly those located across north-west Tasmania. The author has not only been involved in writing this book, but the colour illustrations are all based on her own watercolour paintings. For those interested in Tasmania, Australian history, older heritage and non-heritage listed builds - this book is a great read.
A unique first edition book in a handsome colour dust jacket, with illustrations throughout, the book would certainly suit display in an air-bnb, guesthouse or family home.
