Gosh. We have found ourselves on the short list of Retail NZ's 'Retail Hotlist' awards for 'Best Provincial Retailer'. If you like, you can vote for us here (voting closes on Tuesday 8 May). They say: "There’s something about independent bookstores that inspires intense passion in their customers. Many of New Zealand’s best-loved indies are venerable instutitions that have served their shoppers for decades, but at a little over one year old, Volume is the upstart little sister to this kind of bookstore. Co-founders Stella Chrysostomou and Thomas Koed haven’t let their combined 35 years of experience in the book trade stop them from moving fast and taking risks." We say: Everything VOLUME does is made possible by all of you. Thank you.
