occupations bring them into contact with the Government
financial system; notably Government officials, journalists,
members of Parliament, accountants in business, and the

LIVING LETTERS
STATE SERVICES COMMISSION

36 p. 1980 reprint. $1.75 plus 55c p & p

One of the aims in letter writing is to get ideas across to the
reader clearly and briefly. But do letters always say what
is meant? Even if they are clear to the writer, will the reader
understand them easily? If you are still using the old clichés
of “acknowledging receipt of”, “according to our records”,
and “enclosed please find” it is almost certainly time to change
your attitude to writing living letters.

MAORI AGRICULTURE
By Elsdon Best
NATIONAL MUSEUM BULLETIN No. 9

315 p. 1976. $13.50 plus $1.50 p & p

The only comprehensive study of Maori agriculture available,
this bulletin adds a further volume to the series of Elsdon
Best’s works which the Government Printer undertook to
reprint preserving the original text and bulletin numbers. I
recommend this book and the series as a whole; to collectors,
archaeologists, and to those studying the prehistoric economy
of the Maori people. (Government Printer.)

MAORI
By Witi Ihimaera

45 p. 1975. $1.20 plus 40c p & p

A colourful booklet describing the coming of the Maori to
New Zealand, his history, heritage, folklore, beliefs, and
cultural unity.

Each chapter has a quotation from a Maori proverb,
phrase, saying, or canoe chant and these concepts are pre-
sented in words and pictures.

Continues with the arrival of the pakeha and the pattern of
events which followed, the Treaty of Waitangi and the Land
Wars. Moves on to the Maori today, finishing with the theme,
one country, two heritages in unity.

Well illustrated with 64 coloured photos, of interest to all
New Zealanders and tourists. (Tourist and Publicity Depart-
ment.)

THE MAORI AS HE WAS
By Elsdon Best

295 p. 1974 reprint. $6.50 plus 85c p & p

Fifty years of public demand since this book was first
published resulted in the need for reprints in 1934 and 1952.
The text has been reproduced unchanged but the originals
of some of the figures could not be traced and these have
been replaced with similar illustrations. There have been many
advances in our knowledge of Maori life since this book first
appeared. The work of numerous ethnologists, and more
recently archaeologists, has critically examined many of the
earlier concepts, confirming some, disproving others, and
altering others to varying degrees. No one has yet produced
a synthesis of the results of all this scholarship and there is
still nothing as comprehensive as this book of Best’s to give
a general account of the Maori. This book was first published
when Best was 68 and thus represents the accumulated know-
ledge of a lifetime. It has now become a classic introduction
to Maori life. Its continued availability should help the reader
to obtain a basic background to old time Maori life which
can be extended by further reading.

THE PA MAORI
By Elsdon Best
NATIONAL MUSEUM BULLETIN No. 6

459 p., illustrated. Reprinted 1975 $15 plus $1.50 p & p

The bulletin contains a wealth of information and descrip-
tions of many Pa sites and structures. Although great
advances in archaeology have modified some of the details
listed by Best and some of the Pas included in the book no
longer exist, the information contained in this bulletin is still
an important contribution in this field and is not readily
available elsewhere.
