NZ Publishers Open Office In Sydney
New Zealand publishers, A. H. & A. W. Reed Pty. Ltd., came to join the growing number of Aus tralian publishers in June by opening a Sydney office at 143-5 York Street.
The company has a list of over 500 books—almost all of them about New Zealand, with some excursions into New Zealand’s Islands neighbours.
The company publishes all varieties of books — fiction, travel, biography, science, etc.—and as such has been of very great as sistance to budding New Zealand writers. The company also pro duces text-books and more re cently has ventured into the education field in the Islands.
To mark its Sydney debut, the company gave a buffet dinner at which the menu was entirely New Zealand—or almost. Due to a shipping strike, the Bluff oysters that were to have been item No. 2, became a casualty and Sydney rock-oysters had to be substituted.
