The University Book Shop

When you step through the door you know you are in a real bookshop – one of the oldest and largest independent bookshops in New Zealand. Offering books for all ages and interests, whether tastes run to modern painters or ancient history, classical music or computer programming, crime fiction or New Zealand poetry. The University Book Shop also offers an on-line shop providing access to over 100,000 titles, an eclectic book blog at www.theubsreviewofbooks.wordpress.com and the icing on the cake - lovely, enthusiastic and well-informed staff. The shop is also an advocate for literary pursuits and arts in the city, supporting book awards and festivals, book launches and storytimes; and also provides, in conjunction with the Friends of the Library, a book to every newborn arrival at Dunedin’s Queen Mary Maternity Centre via the Books for Babies scheme.
