| 82970 | 2002-09-25 06:18:00 | Does anyone know of any NZ online book retailers??? Whitcoulls doesn't have that any more. Paper plus doesn't and I don't know of any other book sellers in NZ. I am from a small town with only 2 book shops. Paper plus and a family run one. If there is any NZ book retailers or book sellers in NZ that have an online purchasing option could you please tell me. :D Thanks :-) |

| 82973 | 2002-09-25 07:11:00 | I just tried that . While it may bring up positive results most of those results are for NZ books only . I want a retailer that has all the books (well lots of them anyway) and doesn't specialise just in NZ . When I try and order a book from the shop it takes ages last time I tried it took about 6 weeks to get the book I wanted . So if I order online at a NZ book retailer it should be here in a week or two . Thanks for your help but looks like I will just have to but through the bookshop or else go overseas and pay high freight . Once again thanks :-) :D |

| 82974 | 2002-09-25 07:18:00 | Don't be afraid to go overseas as long as it is a reputable dealer. My flatmate and I have both had good experiences withAmazon (http://www.amazon.com). Prices are usually very reasonable, and delivery was less than one week. The record was three days to Dunedin!! Try them - huge range, and well established. G P |

| 82978 | 2002-09-25 23:08:00 | They shouldn't have moved over to Flying Pig, but stayed with their own site... then they wouldn't have had to relaunch a site, and saved themselves lots of money. Mike. |

| 82979 | 2002-09-25 23:52:00 | Mike - my bookmark is for flyingpig, but if you hit the link you will be directed to: http://www.pacificcollection.com/ That has a section for books. Not sure whether they are any good or not. John |
