The Mark Knight Collection
A Lifetime of Cartoons and Drawings
By Mark Knight

For more than two decades, cartoonist Mark Knight has been capturing the politics, culture and soul of Australia with his cartoons in the Herald Sun.
Knight’s cartoons have illustrated the major issues and events of his generation: wars, terrorism and natural disasters, political victories and scandals, major sporting events and royal weddings. His pen has drawn bitingly funny likenesses of figures including Paul Keating, Jeff Kennett, Pauline Hanson, Peter Costello, John Howard, Shane Warne, Russell Crowe, George W. Bush and the Queen.

As part of this milestone publishing event, Geoff Slattery Publishing is also releasing a special, limited-edition of The Mark Knight Collection: A Lifetime of Cartoons and Drawings. This stunning edition has a stylish cloth cover and is presented in a colourful slip case decorated with Mark Knight illustrations. Each edition includes a limited-edition, specially commissioned Mark Knight lithograph produced at the studio of master Melbourne printmaker Peter Lancaster, all signed and numbered by the artist. The lithograph is presented in a loose form in the slip case, enabling purchasers to remove it for framing.
The hand-signed, limited-edition The Mark Knight Collection is a must-have for Mark Knight fans and current-affairs and political junkies, and would also make a fine corporate gift.

Last Man Standing
By Steven Bradbury with Gary Smart

Speed skater Steven Bradbury collected perhaps the most unlikely, unthinkable gold medal in the history of the Olympics. His last-to-first roll to gold at the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Games captured the imagination and curiosity of millions of people around the world.
While his name has become synonymous with fluky success, Bradbury's golden moment was anything but an accident. It was gold forged with sacrifice, sweat and blood and it was the reward for never giving up over four Olympics and more than 12 years of bloody-minded determination. Australia’s first-ever Winter Olympic gold medallist had a dream and he was prepared to make any sacrifice and endure any hardship to achieve it.

Northerly -The Unlikely Champion
By Bob Cain

Born without a pulse, Northerly fought his way back from the dead to reach heights rarely achieved by an Australian horse. The great gelding won nearly $10 million in stake money, consecutive Cox Plates against the mighty Sunline and, in 2002, joined the ranks of true racing legends by winning the Caulfield Cup - Cox Plate double.
Northerly – The Unlikely Champion is the last work of the late Bob Cain, who sadly passed away in April 2005. With an insider’s vast knowledge of the racing industry, Cain vividly portrays the champion’s breathtaking rise to fame and the dramatic leg injury that, despite a gritty comeback, eventually cut Northerly’s career short.
