Sad news for book lovers in the capital, after nearly fifty years, Vic Books is closing.
Vic Books, which opened in 1975, announced via Twitter on Tuesday it would close it's store on Victoria University's Kelburn campus at the end of March.
It's shop on the Pipitea campus had already closed July last year, meaning this spells the end for the stalwart for good.
One of those left shocked and disappointed by the news is our regular book critic, Claire Mabey. She talks to Jesse.
