The API Network is embarking on a publication program to bring back into print scholarly works that have contributed to Australian public intellectual debate. The books in the Scholarly Classics series are landmark texts. Revisions and updates ensure that these works, many of which were revolutionary in their field, remain relevant and available to contemporary readers.

The first titles to be published in this series, Dennis Altman's Rehearsals for Change and Defying Gravity: A Political Life, were launched by Carmen Lawrence at the 2004 Perth International Writers Festival. Other authors in this series include:
