About the Store
Clarke’s Bookshop has been in Long Street in the centre of Cape Town since 1957. Founded by Anthony Clarke as a secondhand bookshop, we began specialising in Africana in the 1970s. The new books section began with a shelf of South African books, which has grown to such an extent that we now specialise in books on Africa, with a particular focus on Southern Africa.
Note: We make every effort to ensure this list is accurate, but it is an all-volunteer effort. Please contact the bookstore directly to confirm hours and availability before visiting.
