Description
Wonderful and weird collections from around New Zealand.
An interesting collection is as much about the collector as it is the assembled possessions. Join bestselling author Matt Elliott as he tracks down a variety of collectors from around the country. their beloved items range from firearms to carnivorous plants, temuka pottery to railway signals. Doors are unlocked, lights switched on and dust is blown off as Matt is welcomed into an array of basements, sheds and garages, and entertained by owners who are serious collectors but don't take themselves too seriously.
‘Elliott’s collection of collectors is a treasury of New Zealand treasures, fantastically brought to life in an easy-to-read format complemented by glossy photographs of the collectors and some of their collections. Truly a New Zealand book about New Zealanders.’ – Wayne Parsons, Otago Daily Times
‘…[a] beautifully photographed book…The collections are as much about the collectors as they are the items and the author has told their story with a confortable balance of respect and interest, tempered with a touch of humour. Thank you to the many Kiwi collectors for allowing us a wee peek into your hobbies and for giving me something to add to my other collection: books.’ – Jillian Allison-Aitken, Southland Times
