The interior of Parsons Bookshop, Auckland
New Zealand’s best art bookshop Parsons is closing its doors after 36 years in business. Keen to (semi) retire, owners Roger and Helen Parsons have been unable to find an interested buyer and will instead run ‘Parsons Library Supply’ – a special order service for hard to find New Zealand, Pacific and Maori titles – from their garden shed in Ponsonby. A victim of the rise of online stores like Amazon and Book Depository, Parsons’ closure is a sad loss for Auckland.
