It all started at the PSIS Bookshop when aged 18 Marion got a job there working with Louise Wrightson and Viv Walker. They showed her the ropes, customer service and whether a book is good or not for whatever reasons. On and off Marion spent decades working at Unity Books Wellington aiming to refine this. In between, there’s been Penguin Books NZ, Marsden Books and Vic Books, Bridget Williams Books, and Tryptich Conservation, (as an apprentice). She came back to Unity Wellington yet again four years ago, to amazing booksellers and inspiring customers and a thriving industry.
