Byte Design is a bookshop in the small Manawatu settlement of Rangiotu, holding a perfect 5.0 rating from its four Google reviews. A small rural bookshop lives or dies by curation: its shelves reflect the owner's reading and judgement rather than a chain's sales data, which is exactly why people seek them out. Chatting about what you have enjoyed lately gets you further than browsing alone, and most are glad to order in a title they do not stock. Regulars tend to call in often rather than occasionally, because good stock in a small shop turns over quickly. If you want something particular, phoning ahead can spare a trip down a country road. For readers around Rangiotu and the wider Manawatu, Byte Design gives you a highly rated excuse to stop and browse.
