Vendeur : The Secret Bookshop, Tararua, Nouvelle-Zélande
Soft cover. Etat : Good. A good clean copy. A nostalgic tour of the old public houses of the southern South Island, seen through the eyes of artist, journalist, and jazz musician John Husband. His paintings and sketches capture everything from grand Victorian hotels to modest country pubs, each accompanied by short histories, local yarns, and the characters who once filled their bars. Husband treats the pub not just as a building but as the social heart of its community ? a place of stories, music, arguments, and companionship. The book moves region by region, pairing lively anecdotes with richly observed artwork, creating a portrait of a southern way of life that has largely disappeared. It is both a visual record and a celebration of the humour, hospitality, and eccentricity that defined these gathering places. N° de réf. du vendeur 051576
