New Zealand's respected literary review journal, NZ Books has leapt into the 21st century (albeit belatedly) and is now available online as well as in print.

The quarterly journal (which they call 'New Zealand's own Times Literary Supplement') has been in existence since 1991 when it was founded by the late Lauris Edmond, Vincent O'Sullivan and a group of literary afficionados who felt New Zealanders deserved a review periodical with the substance of the TLS or New York Review of Books.

Editors of the journal have welcomed the move as a 'coming of age', saying they expect digital subscriptions to be 'especially attractive to New Zealanders and others abroad, readers on the move and those accustomed to finding what they want at the touch of a key.'

The added advantage of the digital move is the capacity now to compile an archive of all 84 issues of the journal, spanning 18 years of reviews, opinion and commentary on New Zealand books.
