Very interest and well kept second hand book shop

Great selection of pre-read books displayed in Author alphabetical order.Specialist books in their own sections.Very good value. Lucky to find a 2nd hand book shop as not so many left these days.

Amazing second hand book store. Really good prices for an awesome selection of books. There are always new reads to find and the place has such a relaxing energy. Highly recommend the place

Trying to get hold of a bookstore... write a letter? Useless getting hold of this establishment!!!

Part of the cape flats distress association, this bookstore has been in the Sea Point area for over thirty years (second location).Funds raised goes to the ngo for programs in poor areas. The store has a sister store in Claremont.The store could do with a spruce up, but i guess funds are limited.

I was pleasantly surprised, and impressed by the quantity and range of books. Dont expect too much thats new, but dont be surprised when you see it either. Prices cant be good, books are in good shape, and staff are knowledgeable and friendly.

I love Cafda book shop. It is one of my favorite places in Sea Point. The staff is so friendly and the prices of the books are amazing.

Good variety and well priced, bought a nice coffee table book for less than R50

Great service. Will definitely go back again

Very nice also they have lots of books to choose from at great prices

A great selection of second g as bd voojs

Good selection of Preloved books! Friendly, knowledgeable staff.

Popped into shop as I saw a good read on the display bookshelves. This is really a charity store where people do voluntary work. The proceeds go towards uplifting the underprivileged. There is a section for fiction, non fiction, coffee table books, school text books, magazines and used cds. Conclusion: good books at a great price for a good cause.

Great selection of books at incredible prices for a good cause. The cat that visits from upstairs is a good bonus.

No assistance from the shopkeeper, was confused and left the shop with nothing.

Love this gem of a book shop. I always find something interesting, with loads of new and old books. They replenish the shelves all the time and the kids section is great. The staff are friendly and you can now Snap Scan payments over a certain amount.

Always a treat visiting here. Stress free shopping. Very pleasant staff. Amazing books that dont cost an arm and a leg.

To me, second-hand bookshops are special places. The intrinsic value of a book has nothing to do with its newness and unlike some, I am not impressed by the smell of a new book. The real value of a book lies in its ability to endure. If its no good, all the new copies will be in second-hand bookshops pretty quickly. If its good, itll only get there when its current owner dies (could still be pretty quick in some cases, but mostly, not), so you may have to wait a while if youre looking for something specific. But the important thing is the bookstore owners ability to spot, sort, price and display the really good ones. The owner/manager needs to love books and to be able to recognise their value. Hes fighting a losing battle of course because hard-copy books are now an endangered species, so they will one day acquire value based on rarity. For all these reasons, all sentient beings should visit this bookshop.

Cafda Book Shop is a typical charity shop. Cafda being Cape Flats Distress Association. A bit down at heel and dingy, but what a fabulous collection of books and magazines. This is the place to find that book that you need/want for a holiday read. Sewing patterns, knitting patterns hard back or soft, there is something for everyone plus a delightful attendant to point you in the right direction.

Kind staff tranquil place to explore book treasures

What an inspiring place! And there is no judgement about the condition or subject of the books. Also, all languages are welcomed.

Rare finds with relaxing atmosphere. Nice shop to browse and prices are very cheap.

Amazing place to buy secondhand books, with lots of variety for all tastes. Most of them are really well conserved and some look almost new, for really small prices. A fave spot in town.
