I dropped by to buy Hangang's books because they're a bit cheaper than other bookshops. This bookstore not only has good quality books, but also stylish diaries and pens. As expected from a uni bookshop, it has the magic of making me dream of achieving my goals.

Useless to deal with when having to buy school books etc online. When you call in and also need to pick up another book, they make it very difficult. Hopefully there is somewhere else you can get the books from. ** In response to the owner's question; The issue is the website stated some books were out of stock so an order was not placed as we believed they were available in the shop. On entering the shop, the books were physically in the shop, but could only be purchased online and also could not be supplied straight away. There was no hold for other customers on the books so the books could have been supplied, but the 'system' would not allow this. Not what I call customer service.

Been shopping here for years, but it has really gone downhill since they closed the downstairs section. The store layout is very uninviting now, and it only stocks a tiny, unremarkable selection of very overpriced books. You can do much better elsewhere in Auckland or online from overseas.

The store is pretty small but has the requisite selection of classics, reference, text books, new releases and tons of works by local authors and about local subject matter. I do like the stationery section, although I find that Typo is more value for money.
The book subscription service is pretty cool too, and they tailor the books they send you according to your tastes. Personally, I didn't find it very useful because I just wasn't reading that much anymore.

This place is great for any last-minute stationery requirements, quirky gifts, textbooks/coursebooks, and just generally interesting reading material. Be warned: the line for coursebook collection is nightmarish around the start/middle of the year before semesters- they offer an online ordering service to avoid the queue.
Staff are friendly and helpful. The store is also wheelchair accessible.

Do not order from them online. Fine in person, online experience has been horrible. Textbook took over a month to come (after I ordered because it said it was in stock on the website only to be told by them when I enquired that they hadn’t updated the website and it wasn’t in stock). Not only that, I finally get the brand new textbook and it’s damaged.
Like said, they’re a fine store in person. But my online experience has been horrible.

Might be the best secondhand bookshop I've been to, at least in terms of ambience: stock is pretty good too. Its certainly nice to sit in the garden out the back of this lovely villa, sipping the complimentary coffee, whilst reviewing one's finds.
