- Beskrivelse:
- Readaway Bookshop in Howick’s main shopping street is one of the most welcoming bookshops you are likely to find. Readaway, started by current proprietor's aunt in 1957.It may not have the latest shelving or a flash colour scheme, but it is warm and comfortable in a retro style, with stacks of books to explore and a top notch children’s section. It fits the booklover like a comfortable – but still smart – old shoe.
You can make your discoveries – books are not piled in numbers of one title when they spill over from shelves, but in layers that just need to be looked through. It is truly a browser’s heaven – you never know what you'll l find in the book stacks that are a feature of the shop.This is a bookseller who knows her customers so well. She says, “I buy half of every order with the people in mind who I know are going to want the particular titles.”
Barbara is also a loyal supporter of New Zealand books, and stocks virtually every New Zealand title she is offered by mainstream publishers. Readaway Bookshop’s other strengths include a very large and very well-stocked children’s section; their own hand-picked selection from two card suppliers, and a truly massive magazine range. Barbara has been at the shop for 25 years. Her previous career began at the Auckland University Library, followed by a period bookselling at James Thin Booksellers in Edinburgh. - NZ Booksellers profile
