Unity Books, and the brick-and-mortar bookstore renaissance

From Afternoons, 1:30 pm on 7 September 2018

The impending demise of the brick-and-mortar bookshop has long been prophesied, but Wellington-based Unity books is bucking the trend.

Last weekend it opened a brand new store in the Auckland CBD, catering to children's books.

Owner Jo McColl joins us to explain why they made the move, and to talk a bit about the state of bookshops in Aotearoa.
