Local Description

A good copy, with minor fading on the edges.

Description

'Forget the glossy New Zealand coffee-table books and but this one instead - it's cheaper and it'll tell you more about the real NZ than all those pictures of Mitre Peak and Rangitoto. David McGill is no slick travel guide or intrepid explorer. He's an ordinary sort of joker who sought out the quintessential New Zealand in the quintessentially New Zealand way - by train. He wanders north to south, Okaihau to Bluff, wherever his nose and railpass took him - to ghostly shunting yards at two in the morning, to the haunts of a deliciously recollected childhood, even to the cafeteria of the Arahura and to Invercargill on a Sunday."
