Spoor Books is an independent publisher, a community platform and an online bookstore featuring titles from India and beyond. Based in Titirangi, Aotearoa New Zealand, we aim to connect readers with left-field inquiries and non-Western imaginaries.

The name is inspired by our whippet Mishti Boy. Dogs read the world with their noses to the ground, using a spoor to trace where other animals have been and track where they’re going. The metaphor captures what books have been for readers: a way to spoor through the dense thicket of ideas towards imaginative clearings.
