Books of all shapes, sizes, age and condition come to the fore at the Going West Book Market.

Be the first to delve and browse among the west’s finest second hand and rare books.

The Book Market is more than just any book sale - you can enjoy displays, great local live music, coffee and snacks.

Get an on-the spot market valuation or bring that book from home for a free valuation from Bethunes at Webb's Rare Book and Auctioneers

Seeking stallholders

For a modest fee of $25.00 you can have a table at the West’s best book market.

And we provide a trestle table, two chairs, some cool music. Good coffee and great snacks also available.

    Going West Books & Writers Festival

    Going West Books & Writers is the annual literary festival that takes place in Waitakere, Auckland City each September.

    The festival celebrates its 16th anniversary in 2011. Its original inspiration came from the train journey described by Maurice Gee in his novel "Going West". The festival incorporates a variety of word-based events including: a literary weekend that brings writers and performers from around the country to discuss writing and the world of ideas; a NZ theatre season; a poetry slam; second-hand and rare book market; exhibitions; and events for youth.
