I am not clear as to what this booklate was for but I suspect it was when the Australian Dictionary of Biographies was published by the ANU National Centre of Biography, College of Arts and Social Sciences.
It would have been an appropriate book to present to a Prime Minister at the end of his term which coincided with the publication of the Dictionary.
It is a plain statement of the facts, relying on simple typesetting in a graceful face with no need for embellishments, also a suitable layout for a few variations due to recipient’s circumstances.
