Like a Pub Crawl for Books: the new Book Wellington Map

The Read - Booksellers NZ

Have you ever visited 18 bookstores in a day? We have! On Tuesday, The Read set out to visit every store represented on the new Book Wellington Map illustrated by FitzBeck, the creative team behind the best-selling Wellington Book. 
The new map is a Booklover’s guide to the capital and features an eclectic mix of 18 stores from Weta Cave in Miramar, to second hand specialists like Arty Bees, The Ferret Bookstore and Pegasus in the Cuba Quarter, right down to the small but perfectly formed Vic Books Pipitea. 

The stores on the first edition of Book Wellington Map are: Weta Cave, Children’s Bookshop Kilbirnie, Book Haven Newtown, Moore Wilson’s Books for Cooks, Te Papa Store, Arty Bees Books, Graphic Comic Shop, The Ferret Bookshop, Pegasus Books, Minerva, Pinnacle Books, Unity Books, Wellington Central Library, Paper Plus Lambton Square, Vic Books Pipitea, Millwood Gallery, Vic Books Kelburn and Marsden Books.

The Read took to the road to get the full story on the Book Wellington map, starting with the committee that put it together and getting a little book-drunk along the way….
