Book-lovers turned up in droves to Hamilton’s newest book event, Ages of Pages, at the Hamilton Gardens last Saturday. Sixty authors from across the country, including New York Times bestsellers and Sir Julius Vogel award winners, were present to sign and sell books. Also featured were authors from Te Awamutu, Cambridge, Te Pahu¯ and Nga¯hinapo¯uri. With such brilliant weather, the Hamilton Gardens was the perfect choice of venue. The event was separated into genres, making it easy for those who knew what they were looking for to find it all in the one spot. For those who went to browse, the free maps supplied by the event helped them find their way around. “I’m so excited to see an event like this, right here in Hamilton!
