Guide To New Zealand [Paperback]

Maurice Shadbolt (Author)

Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

A leading New Zealand author and similarly distinguished New Zealand photographer have combined their talents here. The result is quite possibly one of the most comprehensive and appealing guides to New Zealand that has been produced in many years. The text contains 590 beautiful, full-color photographs and 20 maps. The format is user friendly, with places of interest in the 20 designated regions arranged in the form of a geographical dictionary. Capturing the character, history, and scenic beauty of the country, this work functions at many levels: traveler's guide, reference source, and just plain good reading. Highly recommended by this expatriate New Zealander. Susan M. Unger, Madison P.L., N.J.

This review is from: Guide To New Zealand (Paperback)

I've lived in New Zealand and after coming back to the U.S. I've had the privledge of taking groups back and I highly recomend this book for anyone traveling in NZ. It is better than most guide books although a little large as a guide book. I'd gladly take it because this books gives in detail information about almost every town in NZ from historical information to economic background. Gives places to see and where to see them. Now if they could shrink it you could through away the Lonely Plant book and Fodor's. For a photographer it is a must to read before traveling there. Both great writing and photography.
