This product is sold as a CD SECOND or SPARE.
"CD seconds" or "spares" are perfectly good data wise, but have been put aside due to:
- faulty label printing, e.g. off colour or misaligned. A few have been manually labelled or corrected
- over-produced initially, so offered as "spares" to clear
They are all offered at 60% to 90% discount (from the normal price). They will be supplied in clear CD sleeves, rather than the normal CD cases. In many cases they are the last available, i.e. they won't be available, even at full price, when sold out.

This early telephone directory of New South Wales was issued in May 1913. It lists over 30,000 names of subscribers in Sydney and country NSW in over 600 pages. Unlike modern phone directories occupations are often given along with the address and the exchange.
The preliminary pages include other information giving insight into communications and society nearly 100 years ago.
- special notes, instructions and hints to subscribers
- list of charges from Sydney to suburban branch and country exchanges, as well as Melbourne
- times of operation of country exchanges
- list of public telephones and hours available
- Commonwealth and State government listings, often with the name of the government officer concerned
The whole 608 page directory is searchable. It is useful not only for finding names, but also places, occupations and other information.
This product contains high quality scanned images of the whole of the original book, and has been bookmarked for easy navigation. Pages can be searched, browsed, enlarged and printed out if required.
