F.A.Q.

Do you buy old books?

I focus on collectable books, maps and posters. If you have items worth R1,000 each or more, please either email or watsapp images to me. Unfortunately, just because a book is old, does not mean I've got a customer for it. 

Can you value my book?

I am unfortunately not registered to give valuations. Try www.abe.com

Do you collect books?

I try not to collect books as I need to pay the bills. I get my enjoyment from buying and selling these fascinating items.

I have some very rare books I’d like to sell?

Yes please. I focus on rare and collectable books that are worth R1,000 each or more.

I have books that aren’t valuable, what can I do with them?

Please Google a charity shop near you. They are always in need of books.

How do I know if my book is valuable or not?

Please Google your book or try www.abe.com

Do you buy or sell academic books?

No, unfortunately this is not our line.

I want to donate a set of Encyclopedias to you? You can have them as a gift.

Thank you so much for thinking of me, but unfortunately I don’t have the space to keep them.
