AUCKLAND WRITERS & READERS FESTIVAL

One of the key ingredients for a successful literary festival is a well-stocked bookshop staffed by experienced and interested booksellers.
The Auckland Festival, now into its second day, is especially well catered for in this regard with a superb bookshop, a cooperative effort between The Women’s Bookshop and Unity Books Auckland, jointly managed by Carole Beu and Carolyn Alexander.
