Home to one of Auckland’s oldest second-hand bookstore’s up for sale

A historic former Edwardian convent in Auckland, home to the iconic Hard to Find Books for the last eight years, is now for sale. The owner, the Catholic Church, has listed the property, leaving the 42-year-old bookstore's future uncertain.

Bookstore owner Warwick Jordan, who also lives on-site, faces losing both his business and home. He is now fundraising to relocate, considering a move outside Auckland or an online-only model. The property is for sale by tender.
