We did a bit of Op shopping this weekend and took a trip to the Whangaparaoa Hospice Shop. It is one of the largest Hospice Shops I found and they always seem to have a good selection of books, amongst other things. The only down side is that I think the entire penninsula go there on Saturday mornings.
My find was a copy of 'Hunting Antiques on New Zealand' by Truus Daalder for $3 (without dust jacket). I thought it might be amusing to compare the market in 1970 to the market now. I will keep you updated as I read through it. The acknowledgements mention only two familiar names to me John Dixon Antiques (the man with the stickers) and my old boss Mr S.P. Webb then of John Cordy Ltd.
