Tony Eyre Challenge
Why not compete in our current competition The Tony Eyre Challenge.
The competition is named in honour of the winner of almost all of our previous literary quizzes. We are hoping to stymie his winning streak (probably a forlorn hope) by concentrating on world literature rather than New Zealand.
Starting this week and continuing next, daily Wed to Sat, we are featuring little-known titles by very famous authors. All the books are available in the shop if you fancy reading them. First to name the correct author gets a point. The winner is the person with most points at end of week two. NO GOOGLING ALLOWED.
Today's title: The Life and Death of Mr Badman.
All you have to do is log in to our Facebook page and enter the correct name of the author.
(and by the way, do you recognise the person in this photo?)

Astronomy
New Zealand is rightly famous for its night skies and the great opportunities for star gazing. And whether you are a total beginner with a budding interest in the stars or a keen amateur or a dedicated astronomer, you can always benefit from a good book to help with what to look for.
Why not get a copy of this book:
Stars of the Southern Skies: An Observer's Guide for New Zealand
by Patrick Moore
Patrick Moore describes and plots the stars in the four seasons (because there are differences apparently). He also examines the history of astronomy and looks into such things as cosmic debris, telescopes, and even the chance of life somewhere else in the universe.
Get a copy now and join all the others gazing in wonder at our lovely night skies.
