Great place to find out of print publications. Owners buy any old or rare books you are looking to get rid of. Parking is a bit of a hassle. Have to park on road. No closed parking.

A bibliophiles paradise. A literary gem in this city. Set upstairs in a lovely building the shop is crammed with books. Specialising in Africana the shop and its late eponymous owner have a rich history. Now owned by Jo who worked for Ike, there is a fantastic selection of books. Travel, politics, history, military history and fiction from nice modern and keenly priced first editions to penguins. All such good value. The various typewriters, the NFS section of books about books and the cookery books in the kitchen are all wonderful. If you have any time to spare between 10am and 4pm in Durban, and consider yourself a book lover, then this is your destination. Those who like art will appreciate their ample section and wide variety on art, with unusual editions about African art standing out. Of course the history sections are broken down into areas such is the quantity available. I was just so impressed. And the service and pleasant atmosphere was terrific.

Convivial, laid back, lots and lots of books for book lovers, always hosting literary events ie book launches, authors and artists and events. Lovely and lively people who share a love for creativity.
