“Good” said John Goode
p. 34 · Read in the full issue
While most writers complain bitterly when they hear that release date for a hook has been deferred, John Goode, author of RAPE OF THE FLY; Explorations in New Guinea, was delighted to get the news. The reason ? Because Just as the presses were ready to roll, the printers had to change schedules for a substantial increase in the print figure.
After seeing proofs, the Papua New Guinea bookseller and distributor, Robert Brown and Associates, decided that this uncensored account of rivalry among explorers of New Guinea in the IB7o’s warranted a special edition for Papua New Guinea.
The hook concerns the Italian, Luigi Maria d'Alberti, and Lawrence Hargrave the man on the back of the $2O note. The hook is frank, critical and decidedly different from other books that have appeared on this subject. • A long extract from the hook, published by Nelson, appeared in PIM, October.
