A Life of Books: The Story of DW Thorpe Pty Ltd 1921–1987 by Joyce Thorpe Nicholson and Daniel Wrixon Thorpe is a detailed and affectionate chronicle of one of Australia's most influential book trade companies. Tracing the evolution of DW Thorpe from its founding in 1921 through to 1987, the book offers an insider’s perspective on the changing landscape of Australian publishing, bookselling, and literary culture. Through personal reflections, historical records, and industry anecdotes, the authors—both closely connected to the company—highlight DW Thorpe's pivotal role in cataloguing, promoting, and shaping the nation's literary output. This work stands as both a family history and a tribute to the enduring impact of books and those dedicated to their dissemination.
