Former Edwardian convent listed in Auckland.
AI summary
The historic Auckland building housing 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, as part of a property portfolio review.
This sale puts the iconic 42-year-old bookstore's future in jeopardy. Owner Warwick Jordan, who lives on-site, faces losing his home and business when his lease ends in February 2026. He is now fundraising to potentially move the store outside Auckland.
Hard to Find Books has been based in Auckland since the 1980s.
The shop stocks around half a million books.
