Little Red Book Shop is a local bookstore on Heretaunga Street East in Hastings, holding a 4.0 Google rating.

The best shops reward unhurried browsing, curating shelves where out-of-print curiosities and classic paperbacks sit alongside popular fiction and regional history. Regulars know that visiting with an open mind usually yields the best finds, and half the pleasure comes from inspecting spine titles and covers you would never encounter in an online algorithm.
For readers and passers-by in central Hastings, it provides a quiet, welcoming spot on Heretaunga Street to drop in and see what is currently on the shelves.
