Soft cover. Zustand: Good. 1st Edition. Twisting Throttle Australia By Mike Hyde. Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers, Auckland. Good softback, some creasing, tanning to edges, minor marks, ffep removed, no inscriptions. The result is a very dry look at the Big Dry Country told with self-deprecating wit by a first time author. A large market has been established for blokes on bikes doing things to recapture their long lost youth, following the exploits of multi-millionaire Gareth Morgan and his friends, who go to exotic places on luxury bikes. Mike's endearing and funny tale is at the other end of the scale - the ordinary bloke doing it on the modest bike and smell of an oily rag - with some wonderfully seat of the pants escapades along the way. A naturally funny man, Mike pokes fun at himself and Aussies in an equally merciless way, providing a travel book with a real heart and a real difference. Definitely a book for every middle-aged man you know - and their wives! Since his trip Mike has been speaking to a large number of bike clubs in the South Island and will be using these contacts to help promote the book. ALL PHOTOS ARE OF THE ACTUAL BOOK.

Inspired by the prophecies of the great yellow kea, Glintamber, Strongbeak leads a group of rebellious young birds in a quest for a new world beyond the mountains. They seek adventure and discovery but instead become involved in farce and tragedy before they discover freedom in an unexpected way.In Beak of the Moon, Philip Temple has given us more than a great novel.

Soft cover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. A Unique Sort of Battle New Zealanders Remember Crete By Megan Hutching. SCARCE. Publisher: Harper Collins Publishers Limited, Auckland, 2001. first Edition. Softback in very good condition with no inscriptions, a little shelf/edge wear, creased cover, minor marks. Of all the Second World War battles in which New Zealand troops fought, the Battle of Crete was perhaps the most dramatic. For 12 days in May 1941, a mixed force of New Zealand, British, Australian and American soldiers sought to prevent the island falling to the invading Germans. The defenders were hopelessly outnumbered and had little in the way of arms or munitions Still, they dug in and battled on gamely. Finally, the authorities realised that the island was going to fall, and they ordered the evacuation of thousands of soldiers. Not all could be taken off, and some 2100 New Zealanders remained on Crete, many of whom were taken prisoner of war. This is a collection of oral histories of 15 New Zealanders who were on Crete (including one woman). They each tell of their own experiences of the battle for Crete;the majority were soldiers, but one was a nurse, one a medical assistant, one a sailor on the evacuation ships. Prefaced with an introduction that explains the events that occurred before, during and after the battle for Crete. 254 pages with photos. ALL PHOTOS ARE OF THE ACTUAL BOOK.
