A column canvassing current literary news including information on the publication of two pages of poetry by John Sandes in the English journal In Town. The column also notes the 26 June issue of Literary World which 'devotes considerable space to notices of books, more or less Australian'. Mention is also made of a Douglas Sladen review of Robbery under Arms; the columnist describes Sladen as 'insufferable' and, satirically, as 'modest'.
