Pegasus Books

About

Welcome to Pegasus Books in New Zealand, named after the horse of classical lore who, by stamping his hoof, gave rise to the Fountain of the Muses—inspiration—literature—and BOOKSHOPS.

Story

As our name suggests, our range of books emphasizes such subjects as Literary Fiction, Poetry, Philosophy, Mythology, Classics (Greek and Roman), Spiritual Paths, Art, Music, and Architecture and Design. There are good holdings in such areas as New Zealand subjects, Sociology and Anthropology, Eastern Religions, Christianity, History, Criticism, Travel, and Maori Books. You will also find popular categories like Food and Wine, Gardening, Sports, Crafts, Women’s Issues, Gay and Lesbian, Foreign Language, Medieval, and Jewish Interest.

As a small independent bookseller we aim to stock quality books (ranging in age from antiquarian to near new) at reasonable prices. Our small staff offers personalized service, a wide knowledge of books, and several ordering options. See our website for more information on ordering.

Now, visit our website, and unfold a huge range of inspiration as Pegasus himself did when he first stamped his hoof!

ABOUT PEGASUS BOOK CLUB:

Pegasus Book Club is a list of books updated weekly that we’re offering at special prices for our online followers; both here and on Twitter (@pegasusbooksnz). But this isn’t simply a knock-off list of cheap detective fiction and Reader’s Digest annuals – each week our staff are selecting ten books from our vast in-store stock that includes the weird and wonderful, the obscure and obscene, the relevant and revered, and just some downright damn-good reads.

To stay abreast of our weekly book club, simply follow us at our Twitter account (link on the sidebar), 'like' our Facebook page, or keep checking the Book Club blog on Fridays for the new list of ten books. Each week’s list is accompanied by a simple trivia question that you must answer in person at our shop to identify yourself and take advantage of our delicious deals.

Please direct inquiries about the book club to [email protected] or send us a message on Twitter. Book club deals are only available in-store and in-person for the relevant week, but you’re welcome to contact us and inquire about the availability of titles on the list.

Eventually we’ll also be providing a free gift once a week to one of our online followers, so follow us on Twitter or Facebook to be in the draw to win.
