Cherie Devliotis' Napier's Takapuna Streets: Footprints of the Past is a community‑level history of the neighbourhood surrounding Napier Avenue on Auckland's North Shore. Drawing on local memories, family stories, early land information, and archival snippets, Devliotis reconstructs the development of the area from its earliest European subdivision through to the mid‑ and late‑twentieth century. The book blends street‑by‑street history with personal recollections from long‑time residents.

Short memoir pieces, photographs, and maps help anchor the narrative in place. Signed by Author(s).…
