Located in the heart of Victoria University of Wellington’s Kelburn and Pipitea campuses, Vic Books has been 100% student owned since it was founded in 1975. While always searching for new and exciting books and giftware for their stores, Vic Books also supplies student textbooks and stationery for Victoria University of Wellington and The Open Polytechnic.

In 2005 Vic Books opened a second store at Rutherford House on Bunny Street. Conveniently located near the railway station, Vic Books Pipitea may be smaller than its big sister but no less diverse, stocking textbooks for its Pipitea campus, general books for the book enthusiast and gifts for everyone else.

Vic Books handpicks books from around the world and New Zealand, showcasing their great love of the written word and dedication to a brick-and-mortar, community focused literary atmosphere. They also carefully select a wide range of quality giftware, while their team of Academic Buyers meet student’s textbook needs and all the while talented baristas consistently serve damn good coffee.
