The journal of the Book Collectors' Society of Australia, began publication in 1947 and was edited by Walter Stone until his death in 1981. Originally titled Biblionews, it was distributed as a monthly newsletter to members until March 1964. A second, more substantial but irregular series, titled Biblionews and Australian Notes & Queries, ran 1966-72; a third series began quarterly publication in 1976. The periodical, which includes much useful miscellaneous bibliographical and biographical material, also publishes lists of important accessions to the Mitchell Library.
Various archive copies can be ordered from the Secretary. A full
set can be consulted in Fisher Library.
