Overview

Some straightforward and some quirky choices, but there's someone on the panel willing to argue for each and every one of these books that they deserve a place on the list of Aotearoa's best.

This week’s Ockham New Zealand national book awards marks the 50th anniversary of book awards in New Zealand. To mark the occasion, we asked 50 experts – authors, publishers, academics, booksellers – to name the very best local books published since 1968.
