Literary Destinations and New Zealand's first Booktown

The Read - Booksellers NZ

Literary Destinations and New Zealand's first Booktown
by Sarah Thornton

Journeys begin with intentions and, as the summer holidays fast approach, Kiwis think beach, bach, BBQ. The culture vultures among them will no doubt be contemplating life beyond the deck chair and the pages of their latest riveting novel, pondering where to get their next literary fix. 


 


With this in mind, The Read did a bit of cyber-rambling, found out a bit more about New Zealand’s first Booktown and checked in with some booksellers about the sort of traction they got from having literary connections. The result is a list of must-see literary destinations – ideal pit-stops for the literary community at large this summe . We have also learned how these literary focal points have enhanced booksellers' livelihoods.
