Hard To Find Books
The very first Hard To Find (But Worth The Effort) Quality Secondhand Bookshop opened in 1983 in a garage in Ponsonby, then as a store in 1984 when Warwick relocated a small part of his book collection to a basement in the south Auckland suburb of Onehunga. Intended as a supplement to his hand-operated letterpress printing and publishing business (Hard Echo Press), the shop was a popular success.
Come in to see our collection of art and books of Aotearoa.
Cozy bookstore edit
Look for all of our lovely little trinkets around the store.
More books!!!
Take a peak in the Maze, our behind the scenes storage in our new 4 Glenside Crescent location.
We're working hard to make sure the best stuff ends up on the shelves in the shop, but if you can't find something ask us at the counter and we're happy to check the back.
