Rata [Thomas Roydhouse] - The Coloured Conquest - N.S.W. Bookstall, 1904, First Edition.

Sydney, N.S.W. Bookstall, 1904. First edition, first impression. Paperback. A good copy. An Australian piece. "Near Future Yellow Peril novel...Japan conquers Australia and the rest of the world; by 1913 whites everywhere are doomed." Presumably this is a rebound copy, from the original wraps issue with the upper wrapper trimmed. The block's neat enough but the binding is fairly crude, with some poor glueing to the lower margin and a nick out of the endpaper. The pasted down wrapper is a little worse for wear. Seller's sticker to the cover. [11786, Hyraxia Books].
