The House of Reed - 1957 - 1967

Reed, 1968. Spine of dustwrapper faded and chips to dustwrapper extremities.

A. W. Reed, managing director of the House of Reed for most of the period 1958 - 67 and still chairman of directors, writes this sequel to celebrate the sixtieth birthday. This later period has seen the rapid expansion of the business on the foundations so soundly and carefully laid in the early days. An Auckland office, a fully operational branch in Sydney, and an active recorded-music department have been added to the firm.

The story of a remarkable decade is told, modestly and simply by one of New Zealand's most versatile and successful authors.
