EARLY GEELONG: DO YOU REMEMBER? GEELONG ADVERTISER [1971]
Blurb:
"In reprinting this pictorial record of Early Geelong, the publishers are actuated by the great public interest shown in Solomons “Do You Remember?” series, which appeared in the Geelong Advertiser from 1943 to 1945 when no fewer than 139 of these illustrations appeared. Subsequently, two separate volumes were published in 1944 and 1945 respectively. Now, after being revised, reset and brought up-to-date, both volumes are included in this publication." — 1971.
