He Pitopito Korero no te Perehi Maori: Readings from the Maori-Language Press is a reader of various articles and content from nineteenth-century Maori newspapers. There are letters and editorials with all the dignity and polished rhetoric of speeches, heated political debates, electioneering, prosaic daily news items and tradesmen's advertisements. One newspaper even includes a report of the death of a favourite cat; and the goings-on at schools and race tracks, women's committees and marae are all reported. Divided into six sections and with the Maori and English texts running side by side, He Pitopito Korero no te Perehi Maori will be useful to students of New Zealand history, Maori language and Maori culture, and embodies the wishes of one farsighted editorial-writer in 1893 who wrote, 'Let each person take care of his newspaper. Do not just throw it away.'
