The Nokomis Group

PLEASE NOTE THAT NOKOMIS WILL BE OPEN DURING THE ENTIRE HOLIDAY SEASON

The Nokomis Group is owned and operated by Noleen Glavish and commenced trading in 1990 as a specialist publisher of high quality natural history books, portfolios, prints, gift cards and original artworks by Australian natural history artists.

In mid 2018, we expanded to include a NEW BOOKS division in addition to those published by the Nokomis Group. We are primarily a mail order business selling natural history, indigenous, Australian and general Australian history books and we ship worldwide. Our stock holding is extremely substantial and if you click on the New Books tab above, you will see that we are offering a comprehensive range of natural history new books which is predominantly Australian but covers all parts of the globe.

Natural history subjects include birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, fish, invertebrates, botany, gardening, ecology, insects, marine, biology, aviculture, entomology and conservation. We are constantly adding new titles and will be happy to source any titles which may interest you if they are not already listed.

Regular mailings (usually monthly as I don't like clogging inboxes with endless mailings) are sent to clients and if you wish to be on the list, please complete the subscribe form.

With over 250 stunning botanical illustrations and fascinating documents from the archives at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, The Orchid explores 40 different varieties of this evocative and elusive flower.
