answer:I’m sure there are but I don’t know of any, having not been there yet. Before my trip last year to New Zealand, I spent some time looking at other people’s photos of the country on Flickr. There were many photos that took my breath away, and these were added to the must-see list. Eventually, I found other people’s travel blogs, which were fascinating and informative. A great book isn’t the same as a photo or a blog, but it is another angle you might consider. You may find really great book recommendations through these other mediums, too. Also when in the country, you will likely have access to books that are hard or impossible to find in the States. I know I didn’t quite answer your question, but I hope that helps.
