Comprehensive books store with a wide selection.
I found it to be more a generic bookstore, that you can find anywhere. I feel like it need more local personality/​charm. Still, a very good book store.

What a wonderful book store! Such top quality books and hard to come by titles… it is a book worms heaven. LOVE their adult coloring in book range.
They staff are really helpful too and can order you in specific books a lot of the time :)

I have a small obsession with books so much so when I’m grown up I will have a reading nook in my house that has the sun all year round, is there nothing more delicious in life but to read books or magazines in the sun ?
The staff here know their stuff and there’s no random junk like some other bookstores .
Where else could you buy a graphic treasure on the family’s of hip hop ?
And that book of meat curing ?
I hope this store is around for many more years.

The single best bookshop in town. This cool place has a great selection of modern fiction and non-​fiction (poetry, biography, cookery and travel guides) calendars, diaries and cards. Like its Wellingtonian counterpart, it is staffed by people who know and love books. It’s a great hideaway from the busy CBD and almost impossible to come away from without a purchase. I dare you.

This is my favourite book shop in Auckland it’s probably one of the last apart from chain stores. Every inch of this store is covered in beautiful books, for such a small shop they have an amazing selection.

Unity Books reminds me of the Meg Ryan’s bookstore in You’ve Got Mail, The Shop Around The Corner. It’s jam packed full of interesting reads and, more importantly, the staff are really passionate and knowledgeable about, well, books.
I recently went in there hoping to find book about the Southern States (other than the Lonely Planet) for an upcoming road trip i;m doing. The ladies at the desk were lovely and incredibly helpful, they even popped downstairs to grab the owner, who clearly had read a lot about the area. She admitted, that a couple of books she’d normally recommend weren’t in stock but she still managed to find me a some really interesting and informative books (Fiction and Non Fiction), the first of which I have just finished!
Until now, I will admit that I used to buy all my books from Whitcoulls — partly bc there’s a store close to my house and partly bc I didn’t know what I was missing out on — but no longer… Independent bookstore all the way!

It’s sad that places like are probably hurting on account of the internet and it’s unlimited range and scope. It’s sad because places like this are kind of special.
Unity books is an independent bookshop on HIgh Street with a great range of both popular and more obscure fiction and non-​fiction books. The staff are well informed and amiable. The store is a warm and pleasant place to be. It’s just a great place to find that little joy where you find a really handsome edition of a book and just click with it.
The only and obvious drawback is the price. Books are pretty expensive when you buy them from bookshops. They’re especially expensive if that store is a high end and independent one, in the ritzy part of the central business district.

Don’t tell anyone this but I love to give books a good sniff, there’s nothing more satisfying than breathing in the scent of new book smell. I have done this even as a small child, and was often regarded by my parents as a general oddball. Unity Books is the kind of place that if caught doing this, no one would even give you a second glance because everyone else is doing it as well. Its nice to be able to find my own sort of people.
Whatever you need, whether it be travel guidebooks, more literary offerings, or seasoned advice from the shop assistants, you will find it at Unity.
I just Gosh Darn love this place.

An essential place to visit if you are a literary type in Auckland. I find it sad that many tourists probably arrive in Auckland and wander around Queen Street without checking out the much more interesting High Street. The shop itself is an inspired collection of books and simply being there gets your creative juices flowing. On the wall at the back are pictures of all the big players in world literature; Paul Auster, Ian McEwan, Haruki Murakami etc all surveying the comings and goings in the shop. I find the Fiction section the best as all the famous novelists are well represented here. I believe indepedent bookstores need all our support in this day and age and it’s encouraging to still see people buying books here.

I find big book stores slightly overwhelming. When I am faced with long tall shelves stacked with thousands of books, I find it very difficult to know what to read, I usually end up leaving with nothing. I have always liked Unity Books, a small, cosy bookstore with friendly staff, and an inspired collection.
The lady who I spoke with when I went there last was a real enthusiast of classical literature. She recommended a few books which I felt excited about leaving with. My previous experiences with staff members have also been positive — they understand that purchasing a book is a commitment for a lot of people, they can be quite time consuming you know?. They also have a great range of tactile books, great for gifts, waiting rooms and coffee tables. If you are used to e-​books you might find the prices a little bit high, but in my opinion there is no substitute for being able to flip through real pages.

What’s more addictive than cigarettes and a better investment than Microsoft shares in 1986? That’s right, it’s a top-​notch independent bookstore, like Unity. I visit for my fix of local literary journals (JAAM, Sport, Landfall, etc), and my beloved Literary Review, new domestic publications, and the best range of hand-​picked literary fiction in town. They also have a children’s section stocked with reprinted classics like Tove Jansson’s Moomin series. It’s also good for tasteful greeting cards, wrapping paper, and magazines. The kind of place where you can suddenly find you’ve spent an awful lot of money, but be brave, they have a discount loyalty card to assuage your anxiety.
