This article may meet Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion because in its current form it serves only to promote or publicise an entity, person, product, or idea, and would require a fundamental rewrite in order to become encyclopedic. However, the mere fact that a company, organization, or product is a page's subject does not, on its own, qualify that page for deletion under this criterion. This criterion also does not apply where substantial encyclopedic content would remain after removing the promotional material as deletion is not cleanup; in this case please remove the promotional material yourself, or add the {{advert}} tag to alert others to do so. See CSD G11.
If this article does not meet the criteria for speedy deletion, or you intend to fix it, please remove this notice, but do not remove this notice from pages that you have created yourself.

Unity Books is an independent book chain, with one shop in Wellington and Auckland respectively. Unity Books was founded by Alan Preston in 1967.[1]
Wellington store
In 2012, the Wellington store celebrated its 45 anniversary, although it has only been at its current location for 14 years.[1] The store is co-owned by Tilly Lloyd.[2]
The store on Willis Street was renovated and slightly expanded in 2011.[3]
The Wellington store participates in the "Culture Vulture" scheme, whereby customers can buy vouchers and redeem that at any of Unity Books, Slow Boat Records, or Aro Video.[4]
In October 2013, Eleanor Catton's Man Booker prize-winning The Luminaries was launched at the store.[5]
