Frequently Asked Questions


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.
