Outstanding! What a fabulous collection of Karoo books and South African books. Also a good children's section with vintage and new. Definitely worth a browse.
Independent bookshop · Hudson Street · Nieu-Bethesda
Second-hand, rare and collectible books in one of South Africa's most magical little towns. Come for a quick look, stay for the whole morning.
Dustcovers is exactly the kind of independent bookshop that reminds you why bookshops matter.
Behind the white front on Hudson Street, room after room is lined with books: wooden beams, worn rugs, a red sofa to sink into and enough shelves to keep you browsing for a day. Victoria is always ready with a smile, a recommendation and a chat with fellow book nerds.
Look out for the little street library at the gate, the funky art cushions and socks, and the Cape sparrows nesting by the door.
A fabulous collection of Karoo history, travel, nature and South African writing.
First editions and hard-to-find titles for collectors. Ask Victoria what's new.
Shelf upon shelf of novels, classics and damn fine reads at kind prices.
A good children's corner with vintage favourites and new books.

They don't recommend books, but they do take their shelf-inspection duties very seriously.

On the main street of the village, a short walk from the Owl House. Can't visit? Victoria also sells rare books online.
