The Book Collector is an antiquarian bookstore in the cultural heart of the seaside village of Hermanus from where it sells and ships literary treasures to book lovers and collectors across the world.

The store prides itself on its collection of Africana and Militaria. Works on South Africa’s political and cultural history – in both English and Afrikaans – are popular choices for locals and tourists alike. The store’s shelves are piled ceiling-high with books on History and Politics, including a wide selection of the works of Churchill. Apart from the Literary Classics, The Book Collector stocks works on Ships and Sailing, Trains, Travel and Exploration, Archeology, Mythology, Religion, Esoterica, Self-Help, Psychology, Philosophy, Business, Science, Wild Life, Marine Life, Fauna and Flora, Gardening, Cooking, Music, Art, as well as Arts and Crafts, and even Pets. It also has some hard-to-find Car and Motorcycle Manuals. Biographies and Autobiographies of iconic personalities are always in stock.
