Exclusive signed boxed set offered to Christchurch earthquake fundraiser

Booklovers now have a one-off chance to own an exclusive boxed set of Allen & Unwin 20th anniversary special editions as part of a BIG little City fundraiser for the Red Cross Christchurch Earthquake Fund.
The boxed set has never been available for retail.


The set includes beautiful cloth-bound editions:

The Slap by Christos Tsiolkas (Winner of the 2009 Commonwealth Fiction Prize)

Lillian's Story by Kate Grenville (Winner of the 1984 Australian Vogel Prize for Fiction)

The White Earth by Andrew McGahan (Winner of the 2005 Miles Franklin Award)

Journey to the Stone Country by Alex Miller (Winner of the 2003 Miles Franklin Award)

The print run of the boxed set was limited to 500 copies, and each book comes numbered and is signed by the author.

All proceeds from this auction will go towards the Red Cross Canterbury Earth Quake Relief Fund.
