This wonderful bookshop is a treasure trove. Follow the hand-painted sign with a large painted black arrow pointing to a concrete ramp to this haven for used, hard-to-find and generally out-of-print editions with an estimated 70 000 titles. The original Kalahari books, founded long before South Africa's online book selling giant of the same name (we are pleased to say this neighbourhood store survived that era better than its digital namesake), was started by Richard Welch, who is still involved. The store has a reputation for treating its customers like royalty. This is the place to find back titles of your favourite fiction authors, along with attentive and friendly service, and comfortable armchairs.
