New Book - Where to Live in Auckland
Hi Guys,
Just thought I'd send a quick message to let you know about our new book Where to Live in Auckland.
Where to Live in Auckland provides a unique insight into the 49 different neighborhoods of New Zealand's largest city. All the most vital information is crammed into its 226 pages; what it costs to buy or rent property, who lives in the area, real estate trends, types of housing and assessments of transport and leisure facilities. Plus maps of Auckland's 21 secondary school zones, population profiles and invaluable buyers' tips.
The book went on sale in book stores within the Auckland region before Christmas, and sold nearly 4500 copies within the first 2 months, making it one of NZ's top sellers, fueled by an excellent review the book received within The New Zealand Herald.
In-depth review by The New Zealand Herald:

Member of my family bought it and found that a few bus rides gave better information.

While you are entitled to your opinion, I won't take it to heart since our review in the Herald was excellent.
This forum is to help people who are interested in moving to Aus/NZ, thus the book is appropriate and extremly helpful.
The book is unique, and I want people to know it exists.

If you want people to know it exists, advertise it in the normal way, not free on a forum.

If you think book reviews are objective then you need to learn a lot yet.

Reasonably well set at the moment but the future gapes, who can tell. It seems a sore point with you, your pick pocketing not up to snuff?
