About Us
Jerome's is a New Zealand bookshop, offering a unique collection of hand-picked books.
We are not a large New Zealand book store, nor do we aspire to be one. Instead, we are selective - every book in our shop is hand-picked on the basis that it in some way informs, uplifts and elevates the mind and heart, or promotes excellence.
On our shelves you will find:
Here at Jerome's we have catholic, that is, universal tastes. We aim to be eclectic, but interesting; to inspire excellence, challenge ideas and stimulate thought.
Jerome's is a small but growing bookshop, with new books added weekly. Bookmark us and come back soon.
