FINE BOOKSTORE AT AWRF
Two of the powerhouses of independent bookselling in Auckland, Unity Books and The Women’s Bookshop, have combined as has now become the tradition, to organise and manage the bookstore at the annual AWRF. In fact there are two bookstores, one on each of the main levels.
Hundreds of copies of all titles written by the featured authors are piled high, what a sight it must be for them. And how wonderful to see so many college students lining up after each session to buy books by the author to whom they have just been listening.
