Super, little hole-in-wall shop. The owner knows her shop inside out. Walked in with a list of books and the owner was able to hand me those she had in store off the top of her head. Prices are decent; better than most other spots and with a bit of digging you might find a real bargain. Most books priced between R40 and R100.

Excellent book store - especially obsessed with the Sci-fi/fantasy section. It is so hard to track down those books, but there's usually so many to choose from. My kids even enjoy choosing their own books. Well priced and a must visit for all readers

Absolutely love this place! It is a treasure trove waiting to be discovered with something for everyone! Set aside atleast an hour if you are planning on visiting, because the range of books available is out of this world!

  • Anton Vermeulen

Except for the cramped aisles between the bookcases, this is a worthwhile visit. Hidden gem, if you are into cheap second hand books. By cheap I mean, price, not worth. Stop reading this review and go buy their books!

  • Hannah Bee

Such a great store and definitely a gem! I’d suggest it to any bookworm out there. The prices are great and they sell puzzles as well. Note that they aren’t as varied in non-fiction books but it’s worth taking a look!
