Hard To Find Books

Would not recommend selling books here. I phoned hard to find books to reserve an appointment with the buyer, as this is what is advised on the website. Upon arrival the buyer wasn’t available so I decided to stay for a few minutes until she had arrived back. 10 minutes had gone by and I decided to leave the books with the receptionist as she said they could get back to me within 1-2 days with a price to buy my books. 4 days had passed by and i had not heard anything back from them. I decided to give them a call to ask if there was any updates as i was told they’d get back to me in 1-2 days. The lady over the phone was extremely short and explained to me that they were short staffed. I understood this and was okay for her to get back to me on a price. Instead she said she will ‘quickly go through them now’ and after around 2 mins she said she could give me $15 for 7 art books that were worth a hell of a lot more. I have still not received this $15 after 2 weeks. I decided to sell with them because I liked the idea of them going to somewhere where they will be looked after, but instead I was met with rude and aggravating behaviour. I also had to get these books gone quick as i am moving overseas. Lovely place to look for books, but don’t bother selling them here.

Magical place ✨ Left with a Tarot deck and a lovely book. Lady at the front desk was nice and so welcoming. Too bad we visited not so long before the close time. If you’re a book person or tend to immerse yourself in museums/exhibitions for hours, consider spending a whole day here. Enjoy some reading here and take some babies home with you would be a satisfying weekend escape!

My friend dragged me there. But it was really amazing. It looks vintage to me and great place for photos too

It was so lovely meeting you today Shalon (Auckland store). You have helped make a stressful time for my family so much easier. It is great that you came to us to buy, and take the books straight away. I will be in touch when I find more books!

Can easily spend half a day here just browsing the fiction room (which doesn’t include scifi, horror and YA/children’s rooms!). The collection can be overwhelming but they’re properly categorized. They have Folio Society editions for 25nzd!

Quaint secondhand bookshop in Grafton. Huge selection & good prices. Very organised and everything is tucked away in its own little section. Only downside is inaccessibility - only way in is stairs and it is quite narrow inside, would probably not fit prams/wheelchairs.
