In 2007 Duncan Harris reprinted the whole of the 1921 "The Handbook of Horticulture and Viticulture of Western Australia". It was the 3rd Edition and published by the Western Australian Department of Agriculture. Originally written by Adrien d'Espeissis, a man who had not only great practical intent in compiling the handbook, but also empathy and commitment to the endeavours of the collective populace of his adopted home; the state of Western Australia.

Duncan Harris is only one of many agriculturalist or viticulturalist who has been inspired and instructed by "The Handbook" extensively over the years (since starting his venture into viticulture and winemaking).
It was because his own 1921 version was falling apart that Duncan decided to undertake the daunting and time-consuming task of reprinting this wonderful book on behalf of others (as well as for himself.).
Only 10 copies of the grape growers handbook are available. This is NOT an OCR reprint. There are NO typos or missing text and all the pages are clean and clear. There are all the illustrations and indexes of the original on clean white pages.
