Listen to Bookworm Tony Eyre on his passion for second-hand books

By RNZ - Nine To Noon | Posted:

Tony Eyre is a proud bibliophile and has taken a lifetime of loving books and wrapped it into a bibliomemoir called The Book Collector.

The Dunedin-based writer was also an accountant for 50 years, but his book looks back on his life and connection to various works and authors.

He also shares a love of second-hand book stores, having travelled to nearly all of them in New Zealand - and a decent number of them on overseas travels.

Tony is chair of the Dunedin Athenaeum Library and is a strong advocate for the city as a UNESCO City of Literature.
