Blurb: In the follow-up to Donnelly's sold-out, out-of-print first title from 2018, 'Book 2' goes beyond the closed shopfronts and back to where it all began. Documenting over a century of memories, archival photography, advertising, packaging, signage, stories and history, the book is split into chapters for each decade – from the mid-1800s to now. The Milk Bars Book 2 is a 300-page celebration of family, food, community, advertising, and childhood memory; a visual feast chronicling what we used to have and what has slowly faded away.

    THE MILK BARS BOOK (2018)

    By Eamon Donnelly

    "Over a decade in the making, a richly nostalgic, colourfully illustrated, photography coffee table book celebrating an iconic Australian invention, the milk bar."

    VIEW THE FIRST BOOK

    “Eamon has a knack for capturing moments of Australian life like few others. Our past needs to be valued, documented and celebrated. The simplicity of the Milk Bar experience, a cherished memory of our childhoods, is one that should be elevated to a higher plane. Get behind this. I certainly am.” 

    Tim Ross, Australian Comedian, writer, radio host, social commentator and design nerd.

    Book 1 Testimonials

    "You've done us all a favour by creating this wonderful, compact, brightly coloured time machine for all of us, who lived there, to travel back to it - to see it and smell it all over again. Thanks for your kind recounting of so many lovely memories."

    A. Dobrochodow, Malaysia, 2019.

    “Congratulations on the launch of the book! It is PHENOMENAL- I've spent about 2 hours poring over the articles and photos. It's perfect in every way."

    Frida Las Vegas, Sydney, 2019.

    "Just received the fabulous book and it looks amazing. You have documented a very unique part of Australian history, which really formed a significant urban and rural visual landscape, and shaped many of my earliest memories of my childhood in the 1970’s. Thank you for such a valuable work."

     J. Jacobi, Victoria, 2019.
