New Zealand Books
New Zealand Books was founded in 1991 and is New Zealand 's foremost review journal. It focuses on New Zealand publications, particularly those that reflect our society, our individual expression in literature and the arts in general, our history, and our relationship with the physical environment. From 1998 until the beginning of 2003 New Zealand Books was edited by Harry Ricketts and Bill Sewell. Jane Westaway and Harry Ricketts are the journal's current editors.
New Zealand Books aims to challenge its readers with well-informed argument, and encourages debate. Its reviews treat books in considerable depth (up to 2500 words), placing them in their context, and often standing as important essays in their own right.
New Zealand Books is published by the Peppercorn Press Charitable Trust and appears four times a year in March, June, September, and December. Jenny Jones is the Chair of Peppercorn Press.
