March is BOOK MONTH in New Zealand, and this year's theme is "Books change lives".
$5 vouchers are being distributed to encourage citizens to purchase a book that may just change their lives.
Meanwhile, a first edition of THE LAGOON, the book that changed Janet Frame's life, is up for auction:
It's a very rare book, and the sale estimate is $2,500, but of course you never know what it will fetch on the day:
If you can't manage to afford the first edition, there are copies of this title in print:
