Small is beautiful, isn't it?
Boutique book publishing in New Zealand
Bookman Beattie’s piece first appeared in the Herald on Sunday, August 24, 2008.

In his article Graham Beattie had this to say about Gecko Press:
Also Wellington-based, but very much a new kid on the block is Julia Marshall and her imprint Gecko Press. Starting publishing in 2005, Marshall comes from a unique angle for a New Zealand publisher in that she sources children’s books from overseas publishers that are not available here, often previously not published in English, and then publishes them locally under her own imprint. Occasionally this will include work by New Zealanders, as was the case recently with Snake & Lizard by Joy Cowley and illustrated by Gavin Bishop, which cleaned up the NZ Post Children’s Book Awards last month. It was first published in the US and Marshall snapped up the US rights.
