Smith's Bookshop | Christchurch is a reputable and independent bookshop that has been serving book lovers since 1894. Originally located on Manchester Street, the bookshop relocated to the Tannery in Christchurch, New Zealand, following the earthquakes. Today, it remains a fully independent store specializing in New Zealand books.

At Smith's Bookshop, you will find a carefully curated collection of new books, second-hand books, magazines, ephemera, and art supplies. They offer both in-store and online shopping options. While they carry a wide range of international titles and children's books, their specialty lies in rare and out-of-print books related to New Zealand.

Their comprehensive selection boasts topics such as New Zealand history, Maori culture, the arts, flora and fauna, sports, farming and gardening, travel, fishing, and hunting. They take pride in helping customers find hard-to-find titles and even have Cadsonbury Publications, a press that specializes in publishing out-of-print New Zealand history books.
