Chur Chur: Stories from the Christchurch Earthquake

Thanks to the generous support of Freerange Press - and a handful of creative co-operatives headed by Barnaby Bennett - we have a neat publication containing compelling, informative, if sometimes quirky, anecdotes about the Christchurch earthquake, straight from the source: local Canterburians.

Here is the <a href="http://bit.ly/r8g2OK">link</a> to the review from Cross Section: New Zealand Institute of Architect's publication, and what John had to say about the neat little book:

[T]here’s bound to be something that appeals to most readers. I appreciated the list of emergency survival items, the more so because I have hardly anything on the list. And I liked Johnny Moore’s homage to hooning, ‘Blow-off valve’. It’s good to see that something of Christchurch’s boy racer spirit has survived the collapsing masonry and the contumely of ‘Crusher’ Collins. It may be irresponsible but, as Mr Moore suggests, after a disaster there is something rather life-affirming about going for a 100mph burn along the Ashburton backroads in a Datsun 260z.
