Hi, I’m Bob Anderson.
My passion is books, specifically, books on New Zealand military history. Through my career I have been involved in the production of the best part of 1000 books. Of those I have done since 2000, the vast majority relate to some aspect of our military history. This interest stems partly from an early stint in the New Zealand Army, and it has been nurtured over the years by my many friendships, that I prize greatly, with military people. I am very keen in all the forms of outdoor activity that many Kiwis love: travel, hunting, fishing and sport, especially Canterbury rugby. But most of all I love books — the process of taking an author’s dream through the myriad of stages that culminate in a superbly presented volume of type and photographs that Kiwis will want to own and treasure. FYI: The name "John Douglas Publishing" is derived from my birth name: John Douglas Robert Anderson. |
