National Library Buys Kelvin Hayes Back Catalogue
Good news! The National Library of New
Zealand has purchased all currently available e-books of
Welsh/Kiwi writer Kelvin Hayes from Lulu.com.
Most of
these works are in the field of poetry, save the short
stories book Beats Per Minute.
This is the latest in the
continued support of the library whom first purchased the
New Zealand only release NZEP back in the late
nineties.
At this time, there are plans to issue the
books on Amazon Kindle in the near future. This would
include the 10th anniversery editon of traveloge Voyage of
Nomad (originally released in Wellington in August 2001) and
the two books in waiting: photobook Birds of our
Neighbourhood and the new travelogue Year Amid Winter.
The nomad book is aptly named as Hayes has based himself
in Auckland, Istanbul, London, Bangkok and Beijing in the
past year alone!
The library's purchase is therefore a
welcome cash boost in a series of natural glitches that have
prevented work from the Bangkok floods to the Chinese New
Year. It is not yet certain when the books will be available
to read but those interested in purchasing themselves can do
so at:
