A unique second-hand book browsing experience.

We love books. And we love transparency. We provide photos of the actual books for sale, including front and back cover photos.

While we have a selection from almost every genre, we have a focus on art, science, non-fiction, science-fiction, fantasy and feminism (and of course we have lots of fiction, we are a bookshop after all!).

“We read books to find out who we are. What other people, real or imaginary, do and think and feel... is an essential guide to our understanding of what we ourselves are and may become.” - Ursula K. LeGuin

Star Quest: An Incredible Voyage into the Unknown

SPACE - THE FINAL FRONTIER.

If you love sci-fi art from the 1970's paired with an epic voyage of a single ship in the 23rd century embarking on a journey towards the very heart of the Galaxy, then this book should have your name written all over it.

Riddley Walker

Do you enjoy post-apocalyptic novels that are written from the perspective of a young child who speaks a very hard-to-read, broken and confusing language that itself is a reflection of the confusing and broken world that has been left behind after a nuclear war? Not me, but maybe you!

Uh, i guess i could try?

Kind words

Excellent selection of books and an easily navigable website. Super friendly service and fast reliable shipping with beautiful packaging! So over the moon happy. Highly recommend supporting this small business.

Brittany

Wonderful website! So fun looking through all the categories of great books. I struggled to control myself from having the hugest order of books. The delivery was quick and I loved the note and business card. It makes me so happy we have businesses like this in Aotearoa.

Dayle

Great curation of books on the site I struggle to find elsewhere. Fast and communicative service which handles orders with care. Five Stars.

Callum
