Good Books. Wellington's Best Book Store

WHAT: GOOD BOOKS 

Wellington. 


To quote the website:

Founded in 2020 by two writers, Jane Arthur and Catherine Robertson, because the middle of a pandemic is always the ideal time to start a new business. Jane has over 20 years of bookselling and publishing experience, and Catherine has fond memories of very briefly working at Whitcoulls when she was at university. This is why Jane is GOOD BOOKS’ manager and Catherine is not … GOOD BOOKS opened its doors in October 2020.


GOOD BOOKS is all about the joy of reading and discovering new books you’ll love. No bookshop should make you feel self-conscious about what you like to read. We have fantasy, YA, romance, memoirs, poetry, art books and Jack Reacher. We have our own books, because that’s what happens when writers set up bookshops. We have science, politics, architecture books and Poo Bum. We’re small, so we only stock the books we believe are truly good.

We have a table and chairs you’re welcome to sit at. We have an awesome bookselling team, and welcome (nay, encourage) you to bring your dogs for a visit. We have very own exclusive range of limited-edition merch.
