THE NZ BOOK - a stunner - launched at Unity Books, Wellington

Unity Books Wellington hosted a bustling launch last Thursday evening for The NZ Book. Published by FitzBeck Publishing, the book reunites the same creative team that was behind last year’s highly successful The Wellington Book.
Each page is packed with quirky and energetic illustrations to accompany facts and asides about New Zealand and its people; from stranded whales on Farewell Spit to the inebriated “scarfies” in Dunedin.

This book is in my opinion the most delightful, engaging and refreshing book published on/about New Zealand in many a long year. It delighted me from beginning to end and I have bought several copies to be given as gifts to overseas NZ'ers - family and friends. Every ex-pat needs one and there should be a copy in every New Zealand home. My warm congratulations to the team behind the book. RRP $40
The publishers have kindly supplied me with some images from the book that I especially like. Here they are, hope you enjoy them too.Do check the book out at your local indie bookstore.
