Already about 1009 have been placed, including 550 in Wellington hotels ,and others in Kaikoura, Blenheim, Nelson, Masterton, Palmerston North, and Wanganui. Arrangements are in train to place them in Hawcra, New Plymouth, and Hamilton, and later they will be distributed in Christchurch, Dunedin and other Southern centres. The volumes are handsomely hound iii leather and the print is clear lonic type. Mr Calder hopes Within 12 months to have 5000 of these Bibles at the disposal of hotel visitors throughout the Dominion.
