The window display of this Wellington bookstore in the 1950s advertises Children’s Book Week, with animal, travel, adventure and school books on display. New Zealanders have traditionally read a lot of books, and selling books could earn a shopkeeper a comfortable living if they tapped into the public’s tastes.
