About the event
To celebrate the launch of Early Albany: 1826-2026, author and historian John Dowson is stopping by for an in-store booksigning!
You may know John as the historian behind the renowned work Old Albany: Photographs 1850–1950. To mark Albany's bicentenary, a new volume has been introduced with an even wider scope of our town's history, from settlement to present.
Marking Western Australia’s first bicentenary, this important work promises to captivate readers through its rich storytelling, meticulous research and remarkable historical insights. Exploring Albany’s early years and enduring legacy, Early Albany offers a compelling tribute to the city’s heritage and will serve as a treasured record for generations to come.
Pop into the bookshop on Saturday morning from 11:30 onwards to meet John, have a chat and grab a signed copy!
