Finding Books in Yeoville

I live in "Randview", Johannesburg, a tiny inner-city suburban enclave in the densely populated near inner city Eastern Suburb of Yeoville. I live on the top of the one of the several Johburg ridges. The one that runs  Hillbrow-Berea-Yeoville-Bellevue-Observatory.

Welcome

Kalahari Books is a book resource (over 70 000 volumes) and service dealing in out-of-print, used, old and hard-to-find books. Our love is fiction, plays and poetry, but we have a comprehensive non-fiction collection.

We have, as well, a Collectables Division, but this is not our prime interest. We have more than twenty years in the trade and know, enjoy and understand books and Literature.

If you are trying to trace a popular book, once enjoyed and remembered, we have an interest in Popular Authors of the Past and may be able to help.

If you are looking for some of the rarer “Classics”, we have a unique collection. Our Plays and Theatre collection is one to which we devote much energy. Crime Fiction is a special interest of ours, and we have a comprehensive collection of the older titles in the Historical Romance genre.

We love and collect Literary Curiosities, fiction and non-fiction 

We have a special collection of books on Sailing, sea adventure, water and the sea and a unique collection of books we’ve called Between the Wars (Europe 1919 to 1939).

Our special fiction collection is extremely comprehensive. In our author's reserves we have numerous titles by Barbara Cartland, Denise Robins, Catherine Cookson, Catherine Gaskin, D.E.Stevenson, Dennis Wheatley, Dornford Yates, Dorothy Dunnett, Ed McBain, Edgar Wallace, Elizabeth Goudge, Frank G.

We’d love to see you there.We're open Tuesday to Saturday from 9h30 to 16h30, and by appointment on Sundays.

For 18 years we’ve also run our flea market stall at the popular B & B Rooftop Market in Rosebank, Johannesburg, Stall A19, Sundays 9h00-17h30. We look forward to a visit from you.We're there from 9h00 to 17h00 every Sunday
