How can we help?

We have stores across all nine South African provinces. Use the Store Locator to find the nearest one, see opening hours, and get directions.

Open the Store Locator, pick your branch, and the page shows the full weekly trading hours plus today's status (open / closing soon / closed). You can also call any store directly from the page.

Stock varies by store. Find your nearest store on the Store Locator and call them directly — they'll gladly check the shelf for you.

Yes. If your branch doesn't have the title on the shelf, ask a bookseller to order it in for you, and they can put copies aside for you to collect. Give them the title and author, or the ISBN if you have it. You'll find every branch's phone number on the Store Locator.

Happily — tell our chat helper or a bookseller what you've enjoyed lately and we'll suggest titles, series order and read-alikes. For what's actually on the shelf, stock varies by branch, so pop in or call your local store and one of our passionate booksellers will guide you to your next read.

Yes. Apply with the online form on each role's page, or in our chat; we don't take applications by email. Each application gets its own reference. If the same role is open at other branches, tick them on the form to apply to each of them at once. You can apply for any one role once with the same email address, and there's a one-minute wait between applications.

Reply to the email we sent to confirm your application, and quote your reference. Your reply goes straight to the team hiring for that role. To send an updated CV for a role you've already applied for, attach it to that reply.

Your CV is kept securely and privately in our recruitment system, never on the public website, and only the team hiring for the role can open it. We use it only for recruitment. To have it deleted sooner, just ask by replying to the email we sent to confirm your application.
