This is an online list so you will have to email us to let us know which book you are interested in or use our Query form.
We will then confirm that the book is still available, as it is strictly a first come first served situation and this page will, in all likelyhood, get steadily more and more out of date.

If you are a Wellingtonian and want to check them out in person we would love to see you. Check out our opening hours and the location of our two branches here.

Also, as we get new titles in all the time that may not be added to this list, if you would like us to look for a title which is not listed here, contact us directly or use our handy Query form.
