Arty Bees Books Information

Started in 1988 by Bob Burch, a 60 year old 'redundant' worker and short time flying instructor during WWII, Arty Bees Books grew, split then morphed into the city's largest retailer of pre-loved, new and rare books. On its shelves sit over 90,000 titles ranging from the obvious to the outright bizarre with a specialized interest in the areas of Science Fiction and Fantasy, New Zealand Fiction and Non-Fiction, and the Rare and Antiquarian. "As a business whose core purpose is to recycle pre-loved items, we know that we are not just filling up the world with more consumer junk. Books have a life of their own that we think transcends the clutter of the modern lifestyle. Now Arty Bees Books, in its latest incarnation, offers an ever-increasing lot of its books for sale online! Browse the Catalogues or send a Book Query if what you're searching for isn't in the online database yet. You can also add your book to the Want's List (a database of titles that customers are searching for) in case the books come in at a later date. Arty Bees in the Community
