Sterling exemplar in softcover format, with unfurled tips, tight bindings, and clean internals, showing no shelf- and edge-wear to the glossy pictorial card-stock wraps. From a publisher's blurb comes "In his more than 200 letters to editors, Colenso wrote mostly for local Hawke's Bay readers.

The letters reproduced in this book are all that can be found at present. As well, some other newspaper items have been included if they threw light on the more obscure letters."
