Book Collectors Society of Australia
From time to time, Angus & Robertson has offered support to community groups. For example, in 1947, the Book Collectors Society of Australia (BCSA) started publication of its monthly newsletter Biblionews. For several years, Angus & Robertson printed the newsletter free of charge, in return for the enclosure of a brochure about recent Angus & Robertson publications. At a later time, Eric Russell, an editor at Angus & Robertson, was a consistent supporter of, and committee member of, the BCSA.
