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.

Famous quotes containing the words book, society and/or australia:
“When the landscape buckles and jerks around, when a dust column of debris rises from the collapse of a block of buildings on bodies that could have been your own, when the staves of history fall awry and the barrel of time bursts apart, some turn to prayer, some to poetry: words in the memory, a stained book carried close to the body, the notebook scribbled by hand—a center of gravity.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“Now different races and nationalities cherish different ideals of society that stink in each other’s nostrils with an offensiveness beyond the power of any but the most monstrous private deed.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)
“It is very considerably smaller than Australia and British Somaliland put together. As things stand at present there is nothing much the Texans can do about this, and ... they are inclined to shy away from the subject in ordinary conversation, muttering defensively about the size of oranges.”
—Alex Atkinson, British humor writer. repr. In Present Laughter, ed. Alan Coren (1982)
