The Northern Rivers Press was formed by a group of regional academics to support the publication of scholarly research based upon regional history and culture.     Kildonan and the Cafe Robert Smith explores two buildings in Muswellbrook—one existing and one long gone—and so to the people who built them, who lived and worked in them. It is a story of migration, settlement and establishment and reveals the texture of life experienced by many who chose to make a successful place for their lives in this land. In this way and through social class, religion, education and community loyalty it charts the growth of the middle class. pb. xviii + 170pp. ISBN 9 780957 962248, RRP $25, p&p $9 Australia-wide.     copyright © 2022 Northern Rivers Press; all rights reserved
