365pp incl several b&w photos and illustrations. Halfway House is a collection of original, scholarly and inventive essays and images. It brings together writers who are both noted and new voices in contemporary discussions of Australian engagement with place. Rather than attempting to impose a uniform concept of Australian poetics, the contributors to Halfway House have investigated revealing situations, occasions and technology. Using poetics in many senses, Halfway House is an exciting, original and provocative contribution to how Australians use, confront or avoid the place we live, its history, its environment and culture. Pages lightly age-tanned. Longish creasing across top corner of front cover. The spine is uncreased and the binding is firm.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.

Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Taipan Books, Inglewood, Western Australia, Australia, +61 0417 110 910, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us.

You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
Shipping terms
Orders usually ship within 2 business days. ***AUSTRALIA*** Shipping costs within Australia are based on books weighing up to 3kg (you'll find that this covers most books). Only if your selected book weighs more than 3kg, or is oversized, might we contact you to let you know extra shipping is required. PERTH METRO CUSTOMERS CAN ARRANGE PICK-UP AND THEREBY AVOID SHIPPING CHARGES ALTOGETHER (please e-mail taipan.books@gmail.com or phone 08 9271 4048 to arrange). ***INTERNATIONAL*** All international orders are despatched by air-mail, and the quoted shipping rates are based on books weighing 1.1lb, or 0.5kg. This generally covers small/medium paperbacks and small hard-cover books. If your selected book weighs more than this, or is oversized, the air-mail charges will be higher, and so we will contact you to let you know extra shipping is required. To be certain, and to avoid disappointment, you can request a shipping quote before placing an order. It's always worth asking for a quote in any case, as books under 250g may travel for a reduced rate.
