Dated: 7th of March, 2004
With 25 authors in this dominating book, and a massive 46 stories bundled into the 515 pages of stories, this book is great value for money for sure!
A huge variety of New Zealand authors and stories makes this well and truely far from boring. It is quite possible to sit and read all day without getting tired or hitting the 'same old same old' point. It is all too easy to lose yourself in this tome of cultural wonders.
This being the extended edition, you have a lot to read, and it's all good.
Overall, though I personally prefer hard Sci-Fi, even I found some real gems in here, making it well worth the effort. I am sure you will find something worthwhile in here too.

being a history buff, it was great to read some of the older stories and compare them with modern styles, all in the one volume. a great buy, and one that hold a proud place on my sadly understocked bookshelves. good to see a new zealand site too, and great to see it supported by the publishing companies, it is about time we had a place like this covering such a wide range of topics. well done to all. keep it up.
