To celebrate 110 years of New Zealand’s oldest family-owned book retailer, Hedleys Booksellers, self-confessed book geek Karen Walker has curated a selection of 110 titles to be sold at the designer’s Newmarket, Auckland flagship store throughout November and up until Christmas. It’s part of a trifecta of collabs that make up Playpark Summer 2017 — a pop-up literary salon where shoppers can enjoy tea and cake courtesy of Storm & India and The Caker, whose Runaway blend and White Chocolate Hazelnut Orange Cookie Mix, respectively, were created especially for the occasion. Also available to purchase, these delicious delights make perfect Christmas gifts on their own. Even better: pair them with someone’s favourite (or soon-to-be favourite) summer read.
