Former Edwardian convent listed in Auckland.
AI summary
The historic Auckland building housing the iconic Hard to Find Books is for sale. The 119-year-old former Edwardian convent in Eden Terrace is being sold by its owner, the Catholic Church.
This leaves bookstore owner Warwick Jordan facing the loss of his business and home, as his lease ends in February 2026. He is now considering moving the 42-year-old store outside Auckland or online and has started a Givealittle page to help fund the significant relocation costs.
Hard to Find Books has been based in Auckland since the 1980s.
The shop stocks around half a million books.
