I wrote and updated multiple editions of Moon New Zealand, which required a tremendous amount of on-the-ground research to make sure readers had the very best recommendations for what to see, where to stay, and what to eat. For DK Eyewitness New Zealand, the focus is much more on what to see and do, presented in a format that relies on photographic spreads and detailed maps. Each approach has its own advantages for readers, as well as for me as the assigned editor and updater. The newest edition is labeled as “2025,” but hit bookshelves worldwide late last year.
