Earlier this year Tim Player of Rain Dogs Books and Records moved from his old stomping ground in the old trades and labour hall on Customhouse Street to a fantastically convenient location on Peel Street. Nestled next to the Gisborne public library it is a prime location for Tim to sell his wonderful collection of the rare, the popular and everything in between. Once inside you are surrounded by books climbing up the walls, books perching on stools, books staring you in the face... everywhere you look there will be books whispering to you, wanting to tell you their story. It is a magical little store, every time I leave another book is clasped tightly under my arm, the pile beside my bed waits patiently for a lazy rainy day.
If you have any special requests just ask and Tim will either be able to tell you exactly where it is on the jam packed shelves (always very surprising that he knows where everything lives) or it will be in one of the many unpacked boxes out the back.
Rain Dogs Books and Records is open Monday to Friday 10-5 and Saturday 10-3.
Enjoy exploring this little gem and Happy Reading!
