Ruth Shaw Collection

Ruth Shaw runs a cluster of wee bookshops in remote Manap+uri in the far south of New Zealand. She lives with her husband, Lance. In 2022 she published her first memoir, The Bookseller at the End of the World, which has since become a critically acclaimed national and- international treasure. It has been translated into Italian, Dutch, German, Turkish and Chinese and will be available in Swedish, Russian, Slovakian and Korean soon. Bookshop Dogs came out in October 2023, and instantly became a NZ bestseller. It will be coming out in the UK (Sept 2024), in the US (Nov 2024) and will be translated into Italian and Russian.
