Paperback. Etat : Very Good. 311 pages. This groundbreaking account of New Zealand's most famous publishing house, A. H. and A. W. Reed, traces its evolution from a Dunedin mail-order supplier of S unday school supplies into a dynamic business that dominated indigenous book pub lishing. This is in particular the story of a series of remarkable relationships : between A. H. Reed - one of the best-known New Zealanders of his time, his nep hew A. W. (Cliff) Reed, the innovative young ex-servicemen who, in the years fol lowing the Second World War, expanded the firm, and the host of memorable writer s, photographers and artists whose books they published. It also reveals how dra matically changing economic and social climates in the 1970s combined with the f irm's developing internal crises to make its sale and extinction in 1983 inevita ble. For outsiders, this was an unexpected fate for what appeared to be the most remarkable success story in our publishing history. The story of A. H. and A. W . Reed is an integral chapter in the narrative of New Zealand's growth as a nati on, and is essential reading for anyone interested in our evolving literary, soc ial and cultural history.
