What you should know about Arty Bees Books
It is with sadness that we share the news that the original R. Bob, a retired accountant amongst many other things , bought a small bookshop in Cuba St in 1988. Though Bob stepped back from the day to day running of the shops he is still remembered fondly by customers and staff. Arty Bees Books is a family run, independent bookstore nestled in the heart of Wellington City, Aotearoa, New Zealand. 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 90,00 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. Books have a life of their own that we think transcends the clutter of the modern lifestyle. You kept money in the local economy Based on US research, we know that for every 100 spent in a local business, 68 is likely to stay in the community, versus 43 when spent in a national business. You created local jobs Local businesses are better at creating higher paying jobs for local people.
You helped keep the high street healthy Supporting local business means more colour and variety on the high street and creates more reason for local authorities to support them. You created more choice We pick the items we sell based on what we know you like and want. Local businesses carry a wider array of unique products because we buy for our own individual market. You invested in entrepreneurship Creativity and entrepreneurship are crucial to our economy.
We don’t just sell books here at Arty Bees! Other groups who sometimes use donated books for fundraising stalls are Opportunity for Animals and the Taoist Tai Chi Society of New Zealand. KapCon is a role playing game convention run annually in Wellington every January. Aucontraire, Wellington’s fan run science fiction fantasy unconventional convention
The Lancaster and the Tirpitz The Story of the Legendary Bomber and How it Sunk German's Biggest Battleship. Morality, Prudence, and Nuclear Weapons Cambridge Studies in Philosophy and Public Policy
