Soft cover. Zustand: Fine. Sydney, Australia: Andromeda Spaceways Publishing Co-Operative Ltd, 2005. First Edition. Two small coffee-colored spots, otherwise Fine magazine wraps. This 56 page booklet was edited by fans who were tired of Australian writers not getting the attention they deserved when the World Fantasy Awards were dominated by Americans who frequently didn't even know who the Aussies were. The booklet was distributed to Award judges and at conventions to get the word out about a very active publishing scene Down Under, and also assisted in the Ditmar Awards. Arranged alphabetically, each page is dedicated to a single author. Introduction by Nix and Strahan. The catalog was issued five years running, and for this work Jonathan Strahan, Garth Nix, Deborah Biancotti and Trevor Stafford shared the Best Professional Achievement category of the Ditmar Award in 2008. Despite that this is a big part of Australian f/sf history, relatively few copies of these catalogs were saved, the fate of so much ephemera.
