We are officially published – another volume in the ‘A World of Twins’ book series is born!
37 families have become a valuable part of Australian History preserved forever in the National Library of Australia
Today I was just as excited picking up volume IV from John and Paula at Middleton’s Printing as I was when the first one was published back in March 2011.
‘A World of Twins’ is a photographic study that explores the special world of twins. This volume includes 37 families: 38 sets of fraternal and identical twins and one family with triplets, aged from 8 days old to 29 years, with two families having not one, but two sets of twins.
