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.
