Anec Dote

A unique book store, gallery and event space in Auckland, anec.dote is a haven for books, art, maps and objects that help bring stories to life. At anec•dote, every object holds a story, and every story connects us to our shared heritage. We’re curators of tales, weaving together New Zealand and Pacifica's rich history, culture, and landscape through thoughtfully chosen books, ephemera, maps, art and objects, both new and old. Our mission is to preserve and celebrate these narratives, offering a unique space where the past meets the present in ways that inspire curiosity and connection. From rare books to unique artifacts, each piece in our collection invites you to explore, reflect, and uncover the timeless stories of Aotearoa and beyond. Open Wednesday to Friday 10am - 5pm, Saturday 10am - 3pm and always open on line!
