This week's Good Sort is an Auckland book lover who's helping raise thousands for charity by finding unwanted books a new home.
Jason Valentine-Burt is a former school principal who turned his passion for books into a business and a cause.
For the past seven years, he's owned a book shop but has spent half his working week selling books for charity.
The money goes to Variety, a charity that supports children in need.
"It’s not a very good business model," he says, laughing. "Most weeks, the charity makes them more than my business does!"
Valentine-Burt enjoys hunting for treasures among the piles of books, and he often finds ones that he can sell for a good price.
"You do a happy dance when you come across something that, you know, is gonna sell," he told 1News.
He reckons books are making a comeback in the digital age.
"People are returning to something real," hesaid.
