USA CUSTOMERS READ ME! (updated)
TRUMP TARIFFS: New Zealand Post (NZP) has resumed sending to the USA, hooray. However, your books will be a little more expensive, as we shall be passing on the cost of both the tariffs and costs associated with paying said tariffs onto you, the customer (SAD!). But the good news is, once you have paid for your book/s and shipping, you will NOT have to pay any extra duties or fees to receive your package (unlike the situation recently, when we did not have a DDP ("delivery duties paid") service available)
Random note: if you are in ALASKA or HAWAI'I, we have no idea why, but it costs an extra NZ$25 PER BOOK to send a package to you! If you have an alternative address in another US state, that is your best bet.

A UNIQUE BOOKSHOP CAREER
A UNIQUE BOOKSHOP CAREER
No Previous Experience Required
The legendary Hard To Find Quality Secondhand Bookshop is looking for a new Manager in Dunedin. This is a longterm career position. The successful candidate will be reliable, personable, presentable, honest, confidant, energetic, committed (probably should be), loyal, dedicated, knowledgable (in a general sense - brilliant at trivial pursuit and pub quizzes), love books of all kinds, enquiring, engaged, fit & healthy, strong, open and broad minded (but not empty or leaky), adaptable, focused, omnivorous, humble, and have a great sense of humour.
The job involves engaging with clients from all walks of life, assessing, buying, pricing and cataloguing books, as well as overseeing staff and day-to-day business activities while finding time to be appropriately obsequious towards the owner. Not a job for clockwatchers.
More a calling than a job, it requires you to learn and problem solve every day forever. It can be physically, mentally and sometimes emotionally demanding. The money is… ok… but the true satisfaction is in somehow maintaining some sense of order amidst the chaos, and loving the challenge of endeavouring to know it all, but finding there’s always more to learn.
ALL APPLICANTS MUST CALL IN TO OUR STORE FOR OUR APPLICATION FORMS
Post delays due to weather
Large swells and strong winds in the Cook Strait, and closure of various South Island passes, means there may some delays this week for your package!
