Hard to Find Books NZ (Internet) Ltd.

We are the largest secondhand and antiquarian bookdealers in New Zealand, the largest online secondhand bookstore in Australasia, and have been under the same family management since 1983 (online since 1997). Hard to Find is a real bookshop, with actual premises and paid staff who appreciate, price and catalogue the books individually- we do not use logarithmic calculators or bar scanners, we use humans who also personally select the books on their merits, not what a bar scanner tells us. We respect our books and do not put labels or stickers on them. We have our books in stock - we do not "order in". We currently have over 160,000 books online from the rare to the recent (based in Dunedin) and more than 850,000 uncatalogued books at our shops(shop stock is not catalogued) or in storage awaiting processing - around 500 more books are added to our online catalogue every week. We try to be very thorough in our descriptions - we like our customers to be pleasantly surprised, NOT disappointed. If you have the good fortune to be in Auckland New Zealand you should visit our bookshop at 2-8 St Benedicts Street, Eden Terrace (right next to the CBD and walking distance from Queen Street) a unique experience not to be missed - our heritage building once belonged to Saint Mary MacKillop!! We also have a second shop at 20 Dowling Street in Dunedin (an even more fortunate place to be) which is also where all our internet-listed stock is kept. If online we welcome you to visit our website www.hardtofind.co.nz. PLEASE NOTE - the postal rates quoted by ABE can be quite inaccurate as books are not a standard size or weight. Postage is a factor from New Zealand and it pays to check with us on the true cost (it may be up... or down). ABE charge a commission on top of actual postage costs. ***01.07.21 EU UPDATE: we send DDU, so you likely will have to pay VAT on receipt of books***
