Upstart Press bursts into print

I am sure CEO Kevin Chapman will be both relieved and delighted that Upstart Press' first three publications are in stock and ready for sale tomorrow. 

Two appealing children's books by Joy Cowley and the 2014 Rugby Almanack is a very nice way to kick off the list for this.new publishing house.

The greatly admired, iconic Joy Cowley, has written eight stories featuring another NZ icon, Buzzy Bee, and his friends. The books each with four stories are beautifully illustrated by Tauranga artist Richard Holt.

Buzzy Bee's Birthday Party (and three other stories) - $24.99


Buzzy Bee Baby-sitter (and three other stories) - $24.99


2014 Rugby Almanack - Edited Clive Akers, Geoff Miller & Adrian Hill - $55

The New Zealand Rugby Almanack was first published in 1935 and is the world's longest-running annual rugby union publication, a must for all serious followers of the game.

Love the brand new take on Buzzy Bee - and what a stroke of genius to get Joy Cowley in to bring her brilliant writing to this important market for young kids discovering the joys of the world. Way to go Upstart Press! I am looking forward to what else will be on offer from them in 2014!
