We have a ludicrous in-store only special of 25% off everything (except Booksellers vouchers). That's books, cards, and puzzles, while stocks last. No holds, sorry.
Our online discount of 15% still applies if you can't make it in: apply the discount code GOOD15 at the online checkout.

Just made my last @goodbookshopnz.bsky.social order, of course @cravenjaney.bsky.social's gorgeous new book. So sad to see this wonderful shop close. Really hope whatever's next for the team is just awesome (and that one of the other book retailers has snapped up some of the wonderful staff!)

Yes, we’re closing – but it’s a decision we’re at peace with. We have loved owning GOOD BOOKS. But the economic environment has been very tough lately – & after a lot of discussion, we’ve decided to err on the side of caution & close under our own terms. ❤️ - Jane & Catherine
