An independent bookshop on Tory Street in Te Aro, Wellington, that the shop describes as a bohemian underground haven for literature, art and music. Its calendar is as much a part of the place as its shelves: weekly gigs, live jazz on Sundays, and film screenings.
Recent events listed on the website include a film screening called Listen to the Land Speak on 3 October 2026, from 11am to 2pm, and a Jazz Festival tribute to Paul Desmond and Chet Baker on 10 October 2026, from 11am to 2pm. A further event runs from 5pm to 6pm on 7 October 2026. Events are held at the shop, and the website asks visitors to call in for the full selection of titles.
Our pick in Te Aro for a browse on a Sunday when there is live jazz.
