Former Edwardian convent listed in Auckland.
AI summary
The historic former Edwardian convent housing Hard to Find Books is for sale. Located at 2 St Benedicts Street, the building's sale by the Catholic Church puts the 42-year-old bookstore's future in jeopardy.
Owner Warwick Jordan, who also lives on-site, faces losing both his business and home. He is now fundraising via a Give a Little page to relocate the store's 500,000 books, considering a move outside Auckland or an online-only model.
Hard to Find Books has been based in Auckland since the 1980s.
The shop stocks around half a million books.
