New Zealand - a very literary country

There are a number of publishers of fine books in New Zealand, and we thought you might like to check out some of them. Please contact us if you would like to share with Kea members the names and contact details of any other publishers.

NB: You can purchase online direct from many NZ publishers; however you might also like to visit KiwiFruits in London (or online), who have an excellent selection of NZ literature and of scenic publications.
