I have had this ordered for several weeks from ArchiveCD and rang to see how
long before delivery and I was told "a few weeks". That was 5 mins ago.

I'm sure it is worth the wait, but Alan, is it a few weeks or one week?

Anxiously awaiting

Regards
Doug

Ian,

The Cyclopedia of South Australia was published in two volumes in 1907 and
1909 - over 1700 pages in all. In addition to a great deal of history and
general information on the state and country towns at the time it contains
over 2500 biographies of South Australians, including a high percentage of
the ordinary citizens in each community, as well as over 2800 photographs,
mainly of people with biographies.

Archive CD Books Australia will be releasing a CD version of the Cyclopedia
of SA in about a week - facsimile images of the original, but fully
searchable on all text. For full description and more details go to
http://www.archivecdbooks.com.au/ - browse the catalogue under South
Australia.

Volume 1 only contained 642 pages, so your pages would be from volume 2 -
published in 1909
