Congratulations to Jarrod Gilbert on the fourth
reprint of Patched: The History of Gangs
in New Zealand
AUP is excited to announce that the fourth reprint of Patched is now available. Patched is one of AUP’s strongest
backlist titles and has now sold over 10,000 copies – or as Jarrod puts it, ‘if
you stack all of the copies up they'd be as high as the Sky Tower’. This book,
which won the People's Choice Award at the 2013 New Zealand Post Book Awards,
continues to be as relevant as ever and Jarrod maintains a lively media
presence.
Press Director Sam Elworthy comments: ‘Congratulations to Jarrod for
writing a PhD thesis that has become a major New Zealand bestseller and a
classic in the field. It was built out of years of field research, it will be
the definitive book on gangs for years to come, and we’re proud to publish it.’

Please note that some of the content on pages 40–41 may not be suitable for all

Patched is available from all good bookstores throughout New Zealand, and is
distributed by Potton and Burton.
