Publishing date was 1989. I believe that this book is nopw out of print.

Earth User's Guide to PC   Robin Morrow - actually, it's ROSEMARY
Morrow, also an Australian living in the Blue Mountains not far from
Sydney.  This is a beginners book equivalent to Mollison and Slay's
Introduction to Permaculture. Ro also has a curriculum guidebook for
permaculture design course teachers.
