This is a book for everyone who loves Grey Lynn claims the publisher and I reckon he's right. There should be a copy in every Grey Lynn household and also around the country and overseas wherever ex-pat Grey Lynners are located.

From the area's origins as a highly valued Maori stronghold to its status as one of the most desirable addresses in the country, Grey Lynn and its colourful stories are brought to life by author Matt McEvoy. He digs down into the layers of the area's remarkable and little-known history to show "GL" in all its diversity - cultures and people, institutions and traditions.

A handsome, prolifically illustrated book - don't open it until you have several hours to spare. You'll be hooked from the outset !
