Daily Post Book Review

Posted by GERHARD EGGER on Monday, July 23, 2012,

 
Thank you Ingrid and the Daily Post for the great book review in Saturdays paper. We would have loved to have been able to get more images of the people that contributed, however just getting the recipes was at times an arduous task. We have now had reviews in 2 major and three local papers! Don't forget if you wish to support the Te Whakapono Health Trust, you need to purchase through one of the outlets that is selling on their behalf.

Sales going well

Posted by GERHARD EGGER on Tuesday, June 26, 2012,
It is now two months since the books arrived and we are very pleased with the way sales are going. Many have purchased an initial copy and then come back for more as they wish to give them away as presents and the feedback we are getting has been great.

As we have previously mentioned the Te Whakapono Health Trust are selling them to raise funds for a new dialysis machine (these machine have a 5 year life span), it is great to see that this small group of volunteers have raised in the vicinity...

Thank you Catherine, for the support you have shown. Being an independently published book, without the resources of a big publishing house behind us, we appreciate the exposure.

Advanced Copy

Posted by GERHARD EGGER on Sunday, February 19, 2012,



We received yesterday, air freighted from Hong Kong, the advance copy of the book
Volcanic Kitchens, come and join us’.
It is an exciting and slightly intrepid moment when you open the package and see for the first time the result of 10 months solid work and effort. We are however ‘thrilled to announce’ that the book looks great. The pre-press done in Auckland by Image Centre was definitely worth it and 1010 Printing have done a great job.
The book is truly representative of our com...

It was with great delight that yesterday (12 December) we were able to have the book finished and on its way to Image Centre in Auckland for prepress, from there the files will go to 1010 Printing in Hong Kong. We have managed to meet the deadline for an early March delivery.
Many thanks must go to Shona for her editing, proof reading and in valuable advise and also to Henri's sister Amanda for her 11th hour proof reading.
