News from Penguin Books New Zealand
Carole Beu and the team at The Women’s Bookshop have
been awarded the Penguin Independent
Bookseller of the Year award for 2013.
Carole is incredibly active in the Community and is
well known for her standout Ladies’ Litera-Tea events. These are highly regarded by a strong and
loyal customer base. If not organising these or hand selling the latest
offering from Penguin Carole can be heard on radio promoting the industry via
book reviews.
The hard work that Carole and the team put in is
“right on the button” and defines well what an independent bookstore should do.
This is further exemplified by their regular Book Choice newsletters that have
absolutely everything covered….e-books, e-news, internet shopping with a
“what’s it going to cost me for postage” section, contact details, hours of
trade (including extended hours), pictures of the staff, community involvement
by way of events, TV reviews, Kobo’s, what they do for the community and what
that support then translates into in the local community…..last but not least
an outline of the exceptional service offerings they have. It is almost hard to
believe that one could cram so many elements into a catalogue!
Well done to Carole & the team.
