Markets and independent shops in Dunedin

1. Buy

   Dead Souls

   They are crammed to the rafters with around 20,000 books so they should have something of interest. The ceiling is papered with old book covers.

   Mon-Sat 10AM-6PM

2. Buy

   Hard to Find

   The largest antiquarian and second hand bookshop in New Zealand, and the largest online one in Australasia. Access is via a majestic staircase. It has a spacious front room adorned with comfortable couches where customers are encouraged to relax and read. The books in the shop are only the precursor to Hard to Find's library, a gigantic collection of 120,000 books in a warehouse like room behind the shop. A database of these books is searchable on the store’s website, or you can ask at the desk and they'll make it available to you.

   Daily 9:30AM-5:15PM

   Jonathan's Photo Warehouse

   Handy if you need a passport photo or some films. They also do C41 film development but not B&W (they need to send B&W films to Auckland for development, which will be a slow process).

4. Buy

   Meridian Mall

   Meridian Mall has about 50 businesses, including Kmart and H&J Smith department stores, fashion and lifestyle shops and eateries. Right in the middle of Dunedin, this is one of the largest shopping malls on the South Island.
