One of the many stunning photos in the new book about Whanganui
Whanganui in all its glory is to be unveiled in a superb new coffee table book later this year.
The book - From the Sea to the Mountain - offers a wonderful insight into the region's many attractions.
Beautifully designed, it features stunning photos from a range of local photographerswho have captured Whanganui's natural charms, its heritage buildings and many activities that go on here.
A number of well-known local writers and journalists have contributed articles, and the book is likely to become a treasured keepsake in many households.
It is being published by Whanganui resident Henry Newrick, a noted businessman, founder of the National Business Review.
The 224-page hard-bound book will be the perfect gift to send overseas to family and friends - and Whanganui-ites living abroad - taking the message of what a special region this is far and wide.
