A Cuban oasis in Wellington. Cocktail bar and exotic tapa's restaurant nestled in colourful historic cottages...

Capital Books, now in its second location in the heart of Wellington, has been open since April 1996. We started specialising in technical, practical and non-fiction books from the word go, as we felt this field was under-represented in Wellington. Our staff (four permanent and one part-time) have an amazing 60 years experience in the bookselling trade collectively. You may also notice our three children occasionally helping out the family business. Specialty areas (many of which are also personal areas of interest) include: automotive, aviation, boating, building/DIY, business, car/bike manuals, computing, crafts/hobbies, engineering, gardening/agriculture, militaria, modelling, reference, sciences, shipping and NCEA study guides. We offer 10% discount to students, members of guilds/associations/clubs related to our specialist areas and many regular customers. Enquire with Tim or Glenda if you are interested in more information.

Barefoot Books celebrate art and story that opens the hearts and minds of children from all walks of life, inspiring them to read deeper, search further, and explore their own creative gifts. Taking the inspiration from many different cultures, Barefoot focus on themes that encourage independence of spirit, enthusiasm for learning, and sharing of the world's diversity. Interactive, playful and beautiful, Barefoot products combine the best of the present with the best of the past to educate our children as the caretakers of tomorrow. Explore. Imagine. Create. Connect. Give Back. That’s what Barefoot Books is all about. It’s exploring other cultures, our planet, ourselves. It’s making time for make-believe and letting imaginations run wild and free. Most of all, it’s about using the power of stories to nourish the creative spark in everyone and strengthen connections with family, the global community and the earth. Barefoot Books began in 1992 with two mothers (Nancy and Tessa) who wanted their children to have books that would feed the imagination while instilling a respect for diversity and a love of the planet.

When Alan Preston kicked off Unity Books in 1967, the shop was tiny and cerebral and only whimsically-commercial, a wedge within the OUP showrooms. Expanding 5 years later into the 2nd of 4 eventual locations on Willis Street, Alan started the pattern of hiring hugely talented & charismatic bookselling staff (including many writers and musicians). Unity Books, always talkative anyway, also began to party. And to augment the exciting bursts of local publishing (and the non-stodgy titles from antipodean distributors) Unity Books began to direct import stock - books that nobody else had. So the shop stood out as something vigorous and radical, even though, as Nigel Cox said in his eulogy for Alan in 2004, Alan still wore his "trouser-coloured-trousers". And so, due to the reliability of two kinds of daily traffic - the extraordinary mix of people, and the fabulously 'forward' selection of books - Unity Books became two exciting & reliable oases from the annoying sands of the mediocre. This was our foundation. And 42 years later this is always our intention. We lean on our good past but we look outwards towards the things that matter - the books, the people and the street.
