PREVIEW OF MERCHANT MINER MANDARIN


We are proud to announce that the first chapter of our non-fiction book


Merchant Miner Mandarin
The Life and Times of the Remarkable Choie Sew Hoy

is now available for you to read on the Coalition for Books website

http://www.coalitionforbooks.nz/first-chapters-non-fiction/

It’s the first entry in the Non-fiction section.



This means you can read the prologue and the first chapter, and admire the cover created by Gavin Bishop.

You can also see a few of the illustrations and one of the maps.

The book itself won’t be published till maybe/perhaps June.

(The exact date will of course be decided by the virus rather than the publishers, Canterbury University Press.)

The website also enables you to put in a pre-order if you wish ($49.99)

The website has the first chapter of many New Zealand books held up from publication by the Covid-19 Pandemic. Have a look at the other titles. 
In the Young Adult and Children's section you will find the first section of an amazing graphic novel/comic, The Inkberg Enigma by Jonathan King.
