MCB The Bookshop > About Us

MCB The Bookshop (MCB) is a full-service, quality bookshop
We have a love of what we do, and aim to bring that to our customers and provide them with a pleasurable bookshop experience.

Hours of opening are:
Monday to Saturday 10 am to 4pm
We close on Public holidays, over Easter & some other days - February 5th for example.

The bookshop has a wide-range of stock, as you'll see by browsing the website, with an emphasis on the literary end of fiction, and books of scholarship in many other areas - history, politics, religion, health, art & design, science, New Zealand books, business, and so on. Plus some humour, and poetry and...well, heaps more.
David and Wendy Ault have between them 68.221 years of bookselling experience, and a deep-seated love of books and the process of providing them for others to enjoy.
The bookshop offers an effective special order system - we can track down your book and quote on price and delivery times - and can sometimes source out-of-print books for you.


Our aim is to develop our business in harnass with our customers, and to provide and pleasurable experience for our customers and ourselves!
