About Time Book Pou pukapuka
He pou pukapuka a Time Book i hoahoatia hei whakamahi ki runga i te tēpu, ki tētahi whata pukapuka rānei. He mea hanga ia pou pukapuka mai i tētahi poraka karaihe tioata i orohia ā-ringa. Ka tāia te waituhi motuhake ki te mata mā te tā tīhira, ka whakamarokehia ki te pāmahana teitei. Nā te kiato nui o te karaihe tioata ka pūmau te tū o te pou pukapuka i te wā e whakamahia ana. He hoahoa iti noa i te taha o te mahi, te āhua me te rawa, ā, he rite ki tētahi whakairo āhua-pukapuka. Ka whakaatu mārama te āhua i te mahi. Ko te momotuhi Quinsay Parto tā te kupu i tāia. Ko ngā reta MMXIX kei te tuarā ko ngā tau Rōmana mō te tau 2019.
