Baskets Away - The Formative Years of Gisborne and District

1976. Wear and tear to dustwrapper with chipping to edges. Foxing to pages. Sticker stain and inscription on first page.

This Centenary Book recalls much of the early history and the names of those who have contributed in a variety of ways to the developments that have created this city and district throughout the years. The records of the past serve to emphasise the interdependence of town and country and should lead to a determination that in the future, as in the past, there will be that measure of cooperation which is essential to the welfare of all sections of the community. The book is arranged topically, and is copiously illustrated with sepia tone photographs.
