City Books & Lotto is a locally owned independent bookshop on Tutanekai Street in central Rotorua, and the Lotto in its name is part of the shop. Its shelves cover fiction, non-fiction, children's books and magazines, with a strong run of puzzle books: crosswords, codebreakers, acrostics, cryptics and number fill-ins, in both the small handy size and the larger A4 format. It also stocks greeting cards and is a stockist of Crucci NZ wool and Woolly yarn. The shop lists fiction from authors such as Lee Child, Wilbur Smith, Patricia Grace, Jeff Kinney and Andy Griffiths. Orders over $25 get free delivery within New Zealand, as at 2026, and orders placed before 3pm Monday to Friday go out the same day by tracked courier. It is one of four bookshops within a kilometre, with Atlantis Books 0.1 kilometres away, Whitcoulls 0.2 kilometres and McLeods 0.3 kilometres.
