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:
“I haven’t read one book about
A book or memorized one plot,
Or found a mind I did not doubt,
I learned one date. And then forgot.
And one by one the solid scholars
Get the degrees, the jobs, the dollars.”
—William Dewitt Snodgrass (b. 1926)
“A society in which everyone works is not necessarily a free society and may indeed be a slave society; on the other hand, a society in which there is widespread economic insecurity can turn freedom into a barren and vapid right for the millions of people.”
—Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
“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)
