It’s In The Post! Awesome Letterboxes From Around New Zealand is a photographic collection of 140 awesome letterboxes. It’s a fun Kiwi collection and was inspired by the series of letterbox blog posts I’ve done over the years.

“Im ready, I’m ready’ … to collect the mail (From the ‘Screen to Street Side’ collection in the book)

The book is a 160 page hardback and was published by Bateman Books in Auckland. Twenty of the photos in the blog posts didn’t make it into the book, but there are 61 new photos in the print version, along with a 4 page Introduction and 138 photo captions. I’m rapt with the end result and Nick Turzynski of redinc. Book Design did a fabulous job on the book design.

“Wow, my entry into the Wearable Arts Show has been accepted! Thanks, I’ll see you there’ (From the ‘Crafty Kiwis’ collection in the book)

There are 13 sections in the book – Rural Delivery – On The Farm – Kiwi Blokes – Location, Location Location – In the Kitchen – In the Garden – Tiki Tour – Reuse & Repurpose – Kiwiana – Crafty Kiwis – From Screen to Street Side – Out To Sea, and Kiwis At Work.

Red rooster, also known as the farm alarm (From the ‘On The Farm’ collection in the book)

‘By crikey, I’m spikey!’ (From the ‘Out To Sea’ collection in the book)
