New Zealand Books

New Zealand Books is this country's only periodical dedicated to reviewing our books.

It focuses on New Zealand publications, particularly those that reflect our society, our individual expression in literature and the arts in general, our history, and our relationship with the physical environment. It also carries lively opinion on any and all book-related topics.
Well worth a look...

Since it was launched nearly 20 years ago by the late poet Lauris Edmond and others, New Zealand Books has established itself as this country's literary journal of record.
Edited by Harry Ricketts and Jane Westaway, it is valued both internationally and nationally by those interested in New Zealand literature: the general reader and booklover, as well as students, academics, professional writers, funding and arts-related bodies, and community, school and university libraries.
New Zealand Books aims to challenge its readers with well-informed argument, and encourages debate. Its reviews treat books in considerable depth (up to 2500 words), placing them in their context, and often standing as important essays in their own right.
New Zealand Books is published quarterly by the Peppercorn Press Charitable Trust and appears in March, June, September, and December.
