About Bruce McKenzie Booksellers

Founded by Bruce McKenzie, our bookshop in Palmerston North is not just a place to find books—it’s a thoughtfully crafted experience. After a distinguished career spanning 38 years in bookselling and publishing, Bruce seized the opportunity to create his dream bookshop in the City Library’s inviting space. His vision was realized with the shop’s entrance on George Street, blending classic charm with modern sophistication. Today, Bruce McKenzie Booksellers is run by Bruce’s daughter Louisa, who continues to uphold the tradition of excellence.
