Coffee Table book - Tales of the Taylor
A5 sized coffee table book of poetry and photography celebrating the Taylor River, along with an introduction with a bit of history of the river.
I have both paperback ($25) and hardcover ($35) editions in stock.
Paperback should be able to be posted internationally at letter rate (Check with NZ Post first), and both editions should be able to be posted within NZ at letter rate.
I published these in 2018, but still have stock.
Update May 2021: A family member has had a diagnosis that's been very stressful, but we're getting through it, although it has had a financial impact, and there's more disruption ahead. Some people would go off and set up a Givealittle page, but I'd rather sell stuff and pay tax to fund the health system so that others who aren't so fortunate can get the healthcare they need.
I donated one of these several years ago to the oncology waiting room at Wairau Hospital.
Someone challenged me that when you're going through tough times, instead of looking inwards, look outwards and try to be light to others.
These books are a fantastic celebration of Blenheim, and now that people are able to travel more freely, if you want something local for yourself or that you can send visitors away with that celebrates local, this could be a good gift. As a bonus, if you pick up from home, you're welcome to drop in and view my original Marlborough art.
