CHRISTMAS ANNUALS.

AUCKLAND WEEKLY NEWS. The Auckland Weekly News Special Christmas Number, of which’more than 90,000 copies have been issued this year, is just to hand through the courtesy of Messrs. Wilson & Horton, Ltd. As usual, the cover design is singularly! attractive, whiile the coloured plate ex- ; ' ceeds in choice of subject and excellence of production, many that have X been published from the same office.: The principal merit of the number is to be found in the excellent whole-page reproduction in two tints. The sub-! jects are new and well-selected, cover- • ing an exceedingly wide range. The issue is a veritable edition de luxe, * and affords some indication,of the high : standard which the art of printing has attained in New Zealand. With such a! magazine to advertise the charms of this fair Dominion, people wiill have no hesitation in securing copies to . send to their friends abroad so that they in turn can point out the beauties of New Zealand to their neighbours: and friends. The New Zealand Free Lance. The most artistic of a long series of Christmas Annuals is the number of the New Zealand Free Dance/ published this week in good time for posting to friends far and near. It is a beautiful production of the printer’s art, conspicuous also for its literary merit. In pictures and letterpress the Annual covers the Dominion so thoroughly and so happily that no better medium can be imagined for spreading abroad its. fair fame. As a ’Xmas souvenir, it will be found a gift that is pleasant to give and a delight to re- 1 ceive. For two shillings its 80 pages;’ certainly afford excellent measure.
