After the resounding success of The Wellington book, Fitzbeck quickly followed up with The NZ book. This book was to illustrate the entire country in a way that cameras can't. Instead of having a spread for a street, we had a page for a city. What resulted was more crafted and considered than The Wellington Book, yet still vibrant and engaging.

This project won a Bronze in 'Editorial and Books' category in the 2012 NZ Best Design Awards
