Reviews
They have a lot of stuff across their two stores, one with books, the other with DVDs to board games, and everything in between. It's not really my vibe as someone who likes to find things fast through the power of Google or clearly sign posted areas. The place was a literal labyrinth, it's best if you have an idea in mind of what you want unless you like to browse. But those with claustrophobia be warned, it's a tight squeeze around most of it and if you're allergic to dust the old used book kind or dislike musty spaces stay away or take an antihistamine. The staff are super friendly though and are willing to help find what you're looking for.
Xanadu seems to be the Bays best kept secret, even though it's had some great media coverage.nnThey have thousands, thousands and thousands of books. All sorted into genres and authors to make it easy to browse. Well, as easy as it can be with so many options.nnXanadu is spread out across three buildings that are pretty close. One has CDs/DVDs/Records/games, the other is the main store for books, and the final one is like an op-shop.nnA great secondhand book store with something for everyone.nnThey get over 8000 new books a month, so there will always be new things to check out.nnWell worth a visit.
Such an amazing bookstore! It has been difficult to find the specific books I wanted whilst travelling around NZ but I walked away from here with 13 of them. Staff were really friendly and helpful finding them for me! Would definitely recommend visiting!
If you're looking for niche titles and old books of all variety, this is the place to go.nI usually go here for the non-fiction books, cookbooks huge range NZ authors etc and you can trade in books for a credit. A hidden gem in Papamoa.
Love coming here Briar has so much knowledge about authors. Her other warehouse across the road is jam packed with so much, a place everyone will find something and well worth the visit.
