Store Description

We have one big store on Manners Street in Inner City Wellington. Bursting with more books than we know what to do with, our shop has been shamelessly feeding biblioholic addictions in the Wellington area for over 20 years. As well as a huge range of secondhand and antiquarian books on every topic imaginable, we also have a large collection of sheet music and a speciality in new Science Fiction and Fantasy titles.
