We carry a selection of philosophical pieces as well - this is 'Nietzsche' presented by Heinrich Mann. For an idea as to how old it is, it is part of "The Living Thoughts Library" series.

Another classic of Australian literature is Ethel Turner's 'Seven Little Australians' which was published in 1894. This edition dates back to 1912, and is in great shape.
