A bookshop on Trafalgar Street in Nelson, formed in 1998 when two Nelson bookshops, Pages and Blackmores, merged at the current site. The website says it was sold to Jo Dippie in 2016 and is a division of Falling Leaves Limited. Loyal customers can become members and earn regular discounts towards future book purchases. Greetings cards are also sold, and the shop is at 254 Trafalgar Street in Nelson Central.
Reviewers mention helpful staff most often, and the book selection comes up almost as often. One customer on a first visit called it a beautiful bookstore and spent more than a hundred dollars. Another ordered a book they could not source in Christchurch, and it arrived the next day, which they called exceptional service. A mixed view comes from a reviewer who found the person serving them rude and hostile, and left as quickly as possible. Whitcoulls Nelson and Paper Plus Nelson, both within 0.1 km, have ten or more reviews and rate lower than this shop. VOLUME, also within 0.1 km, has a 5.0 rating from only five reviews.
