The Style Book is a guide which is addressed to all writers, editors, and public servants who prepare manuscripts for publication by the Government Printing Office. Since 1958 the Style Book has found wide acceptance, both inside and outside the Public Service which is reflected in the number of reprints made since that date. This new edition incorporates the latest amendments based on experience gained since first published. Chapters dealing with the preparation of copy, abbreviations, and compound words have been revised; new material has been added to the chapters dealing with common names of animals and plants, errors in the use of English in official writing, and terms used in printing. The introduction of metrication has required a new chapter as well as amendments throughout the book.

MOA-HUNTER PERIOD OF MAORI CULTURE
ROGER DUFF—CANTERBURY MUSEUM BULLETIN No. 1
$17.50 plus $1.50 p & p
436 p. 3rd edition, 1977.
A chance discovery in 1939 by a 13-year-old boy revealed the grave of a chief in the gravels of the Wairau boulder bank. The grave, goods, and bones of the ancient chief, prone in his gravel grave, with skull directed towards the setting sun, spoke with more authority regarding his race than the distorted memories of Maori tradition.
Although scholarly and technical, the book sustains throughout the drama of this archaeological discovery, and recreates from the evidence of bone and stone the life of our first Polynesians in the Moa-hunter period of Maori culture
