Ever wanted to know what would happen if your book collection exceeded your storage capacity? Welcome to Last Chance Books. There are piles, boxes, shelves of books. If they don't fit, there's the stairs, railings and court yard. But worry not, if you think you may not find a particular book you are looking for, the owner and curator of this magical place will somehow find it for you and give recommendations of other authors of similar genres.

A short way down from Florida road you will find this hidden gem. A Second-hand book lovers dream. Books of all types and topics well packed across the outdoor area of the owners home. Prices are all under R100. Most range from R10-R40. Spend a good time browsing and asking about the books you have been searching for. I finally found a copy of the Lord of the Rings!

  • KAREN MOONSAMY

Lovely book store, filled with treasures. You would need to hunt a little through the amazing books he has to offer. Owner is friendly and connects with his customers and finds the most appropriate books. Books range from ten rand onwards. Can't recall any book priced over R100.

  • Noxolo Ngcepe

Just opposite DPHS not far from Florida road and Windermere center is where you will find this awesome place. If you're a book worm..this is where you will find books about anything really at a very cheap price. The owner is super nice too
