Thank you for visiting our website!

​​

We are a local, family run second-hand bookshop that specialises in having something for everyone! We want everyone to be able to enjoy reading, no matter what form that takes. Whether you enjoy an escape from reality, learning more about your interests and the world around you or want to develop new skills, we have something for you!

​

We look forward to welcoming you to our bookshop in New Zealand's only Booktown - Featherston, in the beautiful Wairarapa.

​​

OUR BOOKSHOP

Our vision is to have a second-hand bookshop that feels spacious and inviting.  A second-hand bookshop that is accessible, well organised and easy to navigate.

​​

We have purposely kept the space between our shelves as wide as possible, and kept the shelves that aren't against the wall low enough to be able to keep a line of sight throughtout the shop. The whole shop is wheelchair and stroller accessible so anyone can come browse to their heart's content.

​

We have couches and seats here and there around the shop so you can take the time to browse a book in comfort - or for friends and family to wait while you keep treasure hunting!

​

We have a play area for children who need some diversion so that their carers can browse at their leisure.  The play area gate can be closed for little ones so you know where they are.  Our aquarium is also an attraction that tends to keep children occupied!

​

If you feel a sense of "ahhh" when you come through our doors and wish you could stay longer, then please take the time to leave us a review to let us know that we have succeeded!​​

OUR BOOKS

​

We are doing this "for the love of books", so we take great care with the books that we have in our shop. Our books are cleaned, repaired (where needed and where possible) and categorised to help you find what you are looking for.

​​

Our fiction books are sorted into genre, and then shelved alphabetically by author, to not only help you find your favourite author, but also make it easy to try a new author from within a genre that you enjoy.

​​

Our non-fiction books are sorted into clearly marked categories including History, Biographies, War & Military, Technical & Engineering, Travel & Exploration, Science & Technology, Nature & the Natural World, Health, Religion & Spirituality, Cooking, Gardening, Art, Craft and Music.  We also have a large New Zealand section.

​​

We offer a teen fiction section and a children's book section which includes chapter books, picture books, non-fiction books and vintage chlidren's books.

​​

To round it all off we have a selection of NEW books, Focusing on (NZ) children's books and local authors.​​​​​​​
