Te Kupenga: 101 Stories from the Turnbull – Advance copy!
9 September 2021
We were delighted during lockdown, to receive an advance copy of Te Kupenga: 101 Stories from the Turnbull. And more thrilled to feel and review the result of over a year’s mahi from our team at the Library.
Beautifully bound in a hard cover, this contains personal reflections of items collected in the first 100 years of the Alexander Turnbull Library.
From Footrot Flats to rare books; a spark plug and rock; photographs, maps and paintings, these items have been chosen from millions, with stories telling of how they resonate with each writer. Have a sneak preview at https://issuu.com/masseypress/docs/te_kupenga_look_inside
Thank you to our contributors across the Alexander Turnbull and National Library staff whose many hours and great talent, have enabled this to come into existence. Out thanks too to editors Michael Keith and Chris Szekely, whose efforts have well and truly gone beyond the call of duty.
This truly is a coffee table book to be picked up again and again.
