THE STREETS OF TIMARU - Jack Hamilton and Keith Bartholomew South Canterbury Museum, $39.99

This most handsome hardback is a joint project between the historical society and the South Canterbury Museum, and made possible by way of local sponsorship. It is a stylish and profusely illustrated book, brimming with information about Timaru's history. It offers numerous insights into Timaru's history that will appeal enormously to residents (past and present), genealogists and historians.
A most worthy piece of local history publishing that is a great credit to all involved. And a bargain too at this price.

The book can be purchased from the South Canterbury Museum for $39.99 plus $7 postage or from Timaru booksellers Chapters & Verses, 272 Stafford Street, Timaru, 7910.
