Description

Mates. Text by Jim Hopkins and Photos by Julie Riley. 'Mate - it's a short word with a long meaning. Most Kiwi blokes forge friendships through shared interests: on the rugby field or golf course, in pubs or sheds, out in the bush or on the factory floor. Mates were an integral part of Blokes & Sheds and Inventions from the Shed. Now, in this third celebration of the masculine heartland of New Zealand, Jim Hopkins and Julie Riley have unearthed some dreat stories of unique and enduring friendships, Kiwi-style. Included are the famous - Todd Blackadder, Tom Scott, Rob Waddell, Burton Shipley, Daniel Vettori, Judge Mick Brown, Keith Quinn and Greg Turner - along with the not so famous but equally interesting, including the men who fly Australasia's only airworthy Catalina; Grant and his mates, who developed an innovative internet search engine; Noel and Damian, who ride penny-farthings in Oamaru; and Bruce and Graeme, with their portable possum-plucker. Humorous and heart-warming, the stories in Mates are told in Jim Hopkins' entertaining and intelligent style, complemented again bu Julie Riley's sensitive and revealing photographs.' The book has light general wear and remains tight and bright.
