The membership body for New Zealand's independent bookshops, based in central Wellington on Boulcott Street. It is the place to go when you want to find a local bookshop near you, buy a Book Tokens gift, or keep up with the New Zealand book trade.
The website has a book search by keyword, title, author or ISBN, and it shows the latest titles and bestsellers from the shelves of the member shops. That makes it a useful starting point for anyone looking for a New Zealand bookshop to visit or to order from.
The association speaks for the bookshops themselves, so its work is about keeping local shops visible and viable. It is a good match for readers who want to support independent booksellers, and for anyone in the trade who wants to follow the industry news.
The office is on the ground floor at 79 Boulcott Street, in Wellington's CBD. Our pick in Wellington for finding a local bookshop anywhere in the country.
