Blackwood Books

Nice old school book shop

Went in a while ago now. The man behind the counter was of zero help. No greetings or asking if I needed help. I felt as though he just wanted me gone so he could go back to his phone. Massive store with lots of books on offer but unfortunately there was a severe lack of signage missing so I never knew what section I was in or where the new authors started. And the excess of books piled up on the floor and everywhere else was very unpleasant.

Hidden treasure in Blackwood. You can often find your joy!

Great book shop. Huge selection of second hand books. Friendly staff. Books piled up everywhere and old couches randomly placed throughout adds to the charm of this place. Have found some great text books for uni at very decent prices. If the sold coffee I could easily lose half a day here

Truly the best book store in SA, I could stay in here all day. I urge you to check it out
