American publications banned (Melbourne : Collins Book Depot [1942?]

Photograph

This flier was issued by Collins Book Depot probably in 1942 to let their customers know that, although the import of US magazines was banned some could still be obtained from Collins “by subscription.” The “ban” was in the aftermath of Pearl Harbour when authorities were minimising sea traffic. This saw the sudden growth in local Australian publishing of comics and pulp fiction as well as magazines.
