Sanitized Bookshop
We sanitized the shop once again today so that anybody entering the shop can feel safe.
Nicolette has always loved books and worked at a local news agency until her employers sold the business, leaving her wondering just what she could do to make ends meet. After a short stint in the daycare industry, Nicolette decided to open her own bookshop. Times were tough but her friends and the locals in the town rallied around her, collecting and donating books.
Kindness, hard work and a whole lot of faith resulted in Gansbaai Book Exchange opening it’s doors in December of 2005 with a proud stock of 3,100 books. The first shop was in the heart of Gansbaai next to the old town square and after a few more years of hard work, a lot more kindness and a whole lot more of her unwavering faith, Gansbaai Book Exchange is now a thriving book-lovers delight. Her large, yet cosy shop now boasts an impressive collection of around 20 000 books, in the bustling Great White Junction Mall.
All secondhand books are first thoroughly cleaned and sanitised before being priced and added to the ever-growing collection of books for sale. A wide range of fiction and nonfiction books are available and the list is seemingly endless.
A selection of new books and magazines are sold in the store.
Gansbaai Book Exchange has a collection of first editions and rare books for the collector.
A smile is the same in every language and every language is what you will find at Gansbaai Book Exchange. Books printed in Afrikaans, English, Dutch, German, French and many more are amongst the immense collection of books for sale.
