AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Frank Eyre managed the Oxford University Press Australian branch from 1951 until his retirement at the end of 1975. Before he came to Australia, Eyre had been responsible for OUP's children's books, then published in London. He was an editor and designer, and his wife Muriel was a book designer also. Eyre had a forceful personality, strong opinions and a willingness to help and guide others. His arrival, as an experienced publisher at the height of his powers, coincided with the beginnings of professional publish- ing in Australia and his influence was to extend well beyond OUP.' (Introduction 21)
