Special Chronicle offer for stunning new glossy book on Whanganui

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 photographers who 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.

Newrick said his aim was to "spread the word and promote the Whanganui region far and wide - to all corners of the earth".

The book had the backing of Whanganui District Council - which has pre-ordered 500 copies - and Whanganui & Partners and the Chamber of Commerce. Five per cent ($1.25) from the price of each pre-ordered copy would be donated to a local charity.
