Founders of the legendary skateboarding business, Hardcore Enterprises (later Globe), Peter, Stephen and Matt Hill share a lifelong obsession with and dedication to skateboarding. In Hardcore: 50 Years of Skateboarding in Australia, the brothers trace the pivotal impact of Hardcore on skateboarding in Australia and beyond, from their first DIY decks and warehouse ramps to shopping centre demos, ramp riots, Easter tours and stadium spectaculars. Written by Jason Boulter and featuring a wealth of incredible archival photography, Hardcore is a visual history of skate culture in Australia – the people, the events and the products that drove it.

# Free tote bag when you pre-order Screw Nice
From Amy Remeikis, Screw Nice is a powerful examination of how the politics of civility attempts to shut down debate. Remeikis, one of Australia’s best political journalists and incisive cultural commentators, masterfully illuminates the personal and the public to hold a mirror up to our society, political systems and treatment of those who don’t hold political or financial power, to show us the time for being silenced has to end.
Pre-order a copy of Screw Nice and you will receive a free tote bag when your order is shipped after the release date of 28 July. This offer is available online, and only while stock lasts.
