Schrödinger’s Books

Located in the heart of Jackson Street, Schrödinger’s Books is more than just a bookshop, it’s a much-loved part of the Petone community. Since 2019, it’s been a gathering place for readers, thinkers and story-lovers of all kinds. The shelves are full of books to enlighten, delight and inspire, from bestsellers to hidden gems, fiction and non-fiction, crime, cookery, sci-fi, music, politics, manga, and children’s books. They also offer a thoughtful selection of titles about Aotearoa, including many in te reoMāori. Their friendly team — Mary, Zak, Will, Alaw and Kathy — are always happy to help you find your next great read or the perfect gift. If they don’t have what you’re looking for, they can order it in especially for you.
