About Us
| |
The one source of everything that's good in reading material is a real bookshop, one that devotes its total energy and expertise to providing an unrivalled selection in an atmosphere to suit all, whether one wants to buy or simply browse.
McLeods Booksellers is such, and Trevor and David Thorp are proud that they own and operate a real bookshop that had its beginnings here in Rotorua more than a century ago.

They became owners in 1968 and since then the business has expanded and prospered, aquiring at the same time a reputation as perhaps the Bay of Plenty's finest book shop, with a number of major awards to justify that title.
But increasing demands, the latest technology and an ever-growing clientele has now demanded newer, larger and more customer-friendly facilities, which are all to be found at their convenient location, the Majestic Building, at 1269 Tutanekai Street.
Perhaps it is significant that the new site (that of the original Majestic Theatre) provided a rich source of pleasure for a growing population over a period of 62 years.
There is no doubt that McLeods Booksellers Ltd will continue that tradition.

Postscript - Regretably on 12 September 2005 Trevor Thorp passed away. David and his wife Lynne had already purchased Trevor's and his wife Merle's shares in the business to become outright owners.
