The edges of the book show handling, and previous owner's name on front free end page, otherwise the book and dustjacket without damage. "For almost a decade, the Christchurch Civic Creche case has been at the centre of a raging debate over the investigation and prosecution of child sexual abuse allegations nationwide. To many involved in the debate, Sir Thomas Eichelbaum's ringing endorsement of the conviction of Peter Ellis seemed like an attempt to bury the debate, instead of facing up to it. However if the British experience in the IRA cases is any indication, the Eichelbaum report will serve only to bring a commission of enquiry into the New Zealand criminal justice system that much closer. -- Page 616.
