How to get your copy.
Amazon has it, just search by name. Maybe others do too.
I would like to think that if you asked for it at a local book retailer - e.g. Bookazine - they would obtain some copies (if they haven't already).
The publisher is The CopyPress in Nelson New Zealand - https://www.copypress.co.nz/shop/my-beautiful-island ($NZ40)
Good luck,
Chris
