First edition: 213 pages, frontispiece, 20 black and white plates, hinges split but holding firmly on the ties, original brown cloth boards, a good copy.

Angove writes from the perspective of someone who saw the "old world" of individual diggers vanish as the "new world" of corporate mining took over. His tone is often nostalgic, capturing a sense of adventure that was already fading by the time his book was published in 1910.
