The two Beached As books, rated highly by the critics, have sold out. But there was always drive to do better. Craft better images, explore more, and make a better beach book. More pages, more Kiwi beaches, make it easier to read, to gift, to travel with, to share. Small is stature but packing a punch. It is a hardcover, A5 landscape in size, but has 208 pages of colour images and informative text. It's a little thickie that feels [and is] substantial. Covering the entire country from Cape Reinga to past Bluff. There is more regional diversity than ever before. There is a mix of ever-popular city beaches, coastal icons and surprises between.
