Avid Reader opened in September 1997 when Fiona Stager, Kevin Guy, Verdi Guy and Colleen Mullin decided that West End needed a bookstore specialising in new, quality fiction and non-fiction. Since then Avid Reader has grown from strength to strength with the help of their loyal and valued customers. At Avid Reader they keep the best books in each genre on the shelves and online. The newest titles are as tempting as lollies in a candy store, but nothing beats the all-time great reads. For this reason they carry a mix of new release and backlist titles that have stood the test of time. Avid Reader also stocks the most interesting DVDs and CDs. location Avid Reader specialises in personal service and provides an extensive special order system, book club advice and discounts, gift recommendations, free gift wrapping and gift vouchers.
