Fine collection of university textbooks and classics. Pricey side though. But there are good bargain upstairs. Interesting new books and a cosy place for children are this store's plus points!

Well stocked bookshop with many atest titles. Expensive though... ... There are also good bargains for older titles and the best it they have gift vouchers we can easily buy. I was a student in Otago University and I came here in 2015-17 to buy books with vouchers my children were awarded at Logan Park High school.

This is a fantastic book shop. Dedicated specifically to books (a few small gift items available but books are the star of the show). They have the best, widest selection of books in Dunedin. The staff are very knowledgable and a great help. They have a fantastic kids section, and do story time a couple of times a week. The store is very well laid out and sign posted well. Bonus if you're a university staff member, show your staff ID for a discount.
