Sending postcards to family and friends remains a key part of travelling in New Zealand, despite the myriad digital communications that we all now use. Postcards from New Zealand aims to translate the popularity of postcards into book form, with a wide range of postcard-type photographs that cover the most iconic visitor experiences in New Zealand.
All the main tourist destinations in New Zealand are covered. These include our cities and towns, from Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin, to many of our smaller towns and settlements. The more remote parts of New Zealand, where the natural world still dominates, are also well represented in the book.
Presented in the enormously successful pocket edition format, Postcards from New Zealand is another welcome publication from Craig Potton Publishing, the pre-eminent publisher of photographic books about New Zealand.
Postcards from New Zealand by Bob McCree is in bookshops this week. RRP $19.99.
