About

Biography of the New Zealand book collector, who bequeathed his extensive collection of books on New Zealand and the Pacific to form the nucleus of a New Zealand national collection; the Alexander Turnbull Library.

Based on family papers and Turnbull's correspondence with a wide circle of friends, it illuminates not only one life but a segment of New Zealand's society. In design and production the book is meant to commemorate a distinguished bibliophile. Its numerous plates are taken from portraits and photographs or illustrate items from Turnbull's original collections.

Illustrated with monochrome images and with illustrated endpapers.
