I have brought books here and got a discount in the process as well and also worked here in 2012 for a week and was scanning books and working with another person which was quite good and had to work in a team.

Great book shop. I could have bought so many books on my visit... I was being good and came away with two! The staff in the book shop went out of their way to help with my enquires. Definitely will be going back

Small shop with a wide range of literature and non-fiction, as well as the usual bestsellers tucked in amongst them. My first stop for anything literature or poetry related.

Review seems to have not gone through...There are plenty of bookstores in Dunedin but none have the range that this premises has. You can be guaranteed of finding a good gift book in a genres of your choice, plus if they don't have it then they are pretty good at ordering in any title you need.

This is an awesome bookshop. I love browsing the various sections but the pop sci section is probably my favourite. When looking for a giftbook I know I'm guaranteed to find something here!
