Where to find decent books in New Zealand

"The staff here know NZ books better than anyone, anywhere. Their prices are great and the quality of their stock is second to none for second-hand books. My top pick."

"Just around the corner from Jason Books and a great spot for new books. With such a lack of decent new-stock bookshops these days this is a shining beacon. Not the cheapest prices but it’s not always that you still want to buy the whole store!"

"‘But Worth the Effort’ indeed! This is a bit of a drive out in Onehunga (unless that’s local for you) but they are the largest second-hand bookshop as far as I know and their warehouse of extra stock is worth a look too."

"Not too far away in Ponsonby. This is a great spot to wile away an afternoon of lazy browsing. For a second-hand bookshop they don’t often have renewed stock but with a bit of searching there are some real finds here."
