New at the front, good secondhand at the back, advice throughout.

New arrivals at the front, bargain finds at the back, and friendly advice whenever you need it at our Simonstown stall.

Setting up the Simonstown stall meant packing books that could survive a windy market and still look good on the table.

  • Travel and photography books sit up front where people can browse.
  • Secondhand novels and children's books fill the crates behind the table.
  • We bring extra stock on long weekends when the market gets busy.

Regulars at the Simonstown stall often ask us to put certain titles aside for them.
