This first edition, signed copy of Troubled Asylum was delivered today and already has a buyer. That buyer had lost their own copy which was purchased while working at the Hospital and this one will be a welcome replacement.
This is a unique copy that the late author, Ralph W Gowlland gave to a friend and confidant and is in the best condition I have yet seen.
Inside was a letter/note from Dr Reginald V Parton, the then Psychiatrist Superintendent. The four page letter/note includes historical notes, present day statistics and the 1978 objectives and functions of the hospital (RDH).
I still have a waiting list of people who wish to buy a copy of this important document, so if you wish to sell a copy please contact me at mark@willowcourttasmania.org and I will put you in touch with buyers who have cash ready and waiting. If you wish to be added to the buyers list also contact me.
