Illustrated Māori Dictionary

This is a true classic: a Māori to English dictionary by the great A.W. Reed with two fine illustrations per page by Roger Hart. First published in 1965, the book used macronised vowels years before these became standard. This facsimile edition updates the text to give a more contemporary context to the headwords, meanings and derivations, but the retro feel remains.
