First-time visitors can expect shelves of second-hand and collectable titles rather than a general retail floor. Trading runs 10:00 to 16:00 on Mondays through Saturdays, and the hours also cover 10:00 to 17:00 on Mondays through Saturdays, with Saturdays closing at 16:00. A 4.8 out of 5 average across 43 reviews reflects strong approval from a small but steady stream of customers. The website at http://slightlyfoxed.co.nz/ carries the shop's identity and stock.
Reaching Oamaru from the island's main towns is a matter of road travel, and the shop sits within the South Hill area of town. Dunedin, Christchurch, Queenstown, Nelson, Blenheim, Wanaka, Te Anau and Kaikoura are the places that frame a visit to this part of the South Island.
Seasons on the South Island run opposite to the northern hemisphere, so summer falls from December to February and winter from June to August. New Zealand has a temperate maritime climate, so summers are mild and winters rarely bring snow at low altitude. Māori culture is central to national life, with marae, haka and the Treaty of Waitangi signed in 1840.
