2016, Self-published by the author Trevor Poultney, a New Zealander living in Australia [when book was published]. Softcover, 199 pages, approx. size: 24 x 17cm. Basically the book consists of a 7-page introduction and after that it's a chronological list of executions with descriptions of the alleged crime. There's also a chronological and an alphabetical list at back of book. Appears to be a rare book. Quick internet search didn't find any available copies for sale. Book has some illustrations [all b/w] - most are small portraits of those executed. There are 11 other illustrations. Signed on title-page by the author [with a dedication]. Please see auction photos for book details [contents, etc.].

BOOK CONDITION: Some bumping and minor creasing at upper front corners of cover and underlying pages. Otherwise a tidy copy.
