We specialise in Africana with a focus on early travellers, explorers, hunters and missionaries; South African fauna and flora, fiction, bibliographies, history, the Anglo Boer war and Rhodesia. Apart from our Africana collection, our bookshops in Richmond - which consist of four Karoo-style houses, six converted stables and other outbuildings - house used books ranging from Afrikaans, Art, Aviation, Biographies, Cuisine, English fiction, History, Natural History, Religion, Sport, Trains & Railways, Warfare to Youth literature.
