"Hugh Price loved books from an early age, and his belief that literacy itself was a civil liberty underpinned his career as a publisher. Many insightful stories were told about Hugh at the commemoration of his life, held in Wellington on 5 January 2010. The speeches from this occasion and the tributes that flowed in the following days and weeks have been compiled into this book. Also included here are Hugh's own engaging memoir of a life in print, and a detailed timeline of his achievements, as a groundbreaking publisher, a champion of civil liberties, a family man and a great New Zealander." --Back cover.
