'''Wikisource''' is an online library of free content publications, collected and maintained by an online volunteer community. Several Australians have been closely involved with Wikisource, working hard to allow free access to 'copyleft' publications.
'''Wikipedia''' has for some time had a 'create a book' feature enabled. This tool allows you to quickly and easily select some Wikipedia articles you may be interested in, and create a printable book format (PDF) - Here you'll see a book featuring information on the Prime Minister of Australia, both the role, and information on every single person who has filled it to date!


These include [http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/A_specimen_of_the_botany_of_New_Holland 'A specimen of the botany of New Holland'], the first published book on the flora of Australia. Written by James Edward Smith and illustrated by James Sowerby, it was published by Sowerby in four parts between 1793 and 1795.
The Wikimedia Foundation also has a partnership with a commercial entity 'Pedia Press' to print and distribute books 'on demand' - so you can also [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Book/order_collection/&colltitle=User:Markhurd/Books/Prime_Ministers_of_Australia&partner=pediapress click here] if you'd like a copy of the book printed and delivered to your home at a surprisingly reasonable rate!
