Synopsis:

Nothing is nobler than a great obituary; witness Ecclesiastes's praising of famous men, and Mark Anthony's borrowing of Roman ears for his last words about Julius Caesar. Other eminent obituaries have lain undisturbed in dusty archives. Michael Geare and David Holloway have travelled the world to disinter some surprising masterworks of the obituarist's art.

The Bookworms Mission:

We strive to reduce unnecessary landfill by taking used books, second-hand books, paperback books, hardback books, pre-loved books, great reads and recycled books and then redistributing them throughout New Zealand, Australia and the rest of the world. Readers can connect online with book titles, helping them find new homes, and support reusing and re-loving books that are affordable. At Bookworms you’ll find cheap books, hidden gems and even some lost treasures. We have a passion for sustainability, being eco-friendly, eco-conscious and we aim to incorporate that into all that we do.
