I had been looking forward to reading this book & was glad when I could finally get my hands on a copy.
It was a very informative, well-researched and entertaining look at 'pests' in Australia, particularly rabbits, and the surrounding history of pest introduction & eradication since European settlement.
Definitely a book I'll be keeping on the shelf.

Interesting 415 page paperback edition of an important look at the rabbit on the ground in Australia. Includes chapters on other imported animals but first two hundred pages about the gray blanket of rabbits.
