Welcome to Adventure Books! WE ARE NOW OPEN in downtown Christchurch, New Zealand, in the beautifully restored Old Municipal Chambers building on the corner of Oxford Terrace and Worcester Streets; right across from the statue of Robert Falcon Scott. This heritage brick building was badly damaged in the 2011 earthquake but has been lovingly restored to its former glory. 

 

We are a bookseller specialising in the literature of adventure, and you will find books on Antarctica; Mountains; Exploration; Nautical; Adventure Stories; Natural History; New Zealand; and Literary Items as well. In addition to books, we feature original artworks by prominent New Zealand artists (for sale) and rare artefacts from the Heroic Age of Antarctic exploration (on display only). Plenty to see here!

Our latest catalogue 'Restoration' features selected collectible books and art for sale; available in store. Most books in the catalogue are out of print and many are signed copies.
