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]
