We have some special plans in the works, including flash tattoos and a special coffee blend. There will also be a big party bag giveaway, be sure to RSVP to get your chance to win!

Free event, RSVP here: tinyurl.com/ScorpioBooks50th
We are thrilled at this opportunity to celebrate with our Scorpio community, which has grown over the last 50 years and includes you. Whether you’ve worked as a Scorpio bookseller some time ago, written one of the wonderful books we sell, attended or hosted book launches and author talks, or perhaps bought shelves of books from us over the years, you have helped make this milestone happen!
Nau mai haere mai, bring your friends and whānau. We are looking forward to seeing many familiar faces, and sharing this special event with you.
