After operating at the club for six years, the bookstore and gallery is moving to the Mother City starting June 1st.
The new store will be located at The Cape Town Club, 18 Queen Victoria St, Gardens, Cape Town.
James, a renowned radio producer, broadcaster, writer and journalist, has been a book dealer for over two decades. He has been collecting rare books, banned posters, documents signed by Einstein and other influential people, letters from early astronomers, works of art, and original maps, some of which are over 400 years old and selling these treasures to consumers from all over the word.
Books at the Johannesburg store are currently 80% off until Friday, 16 May.
Not only does he operate from his store in Johannesburg, but he also has an online store.
The most expensive book at his store, Portraits of the Game and Wild Animals of Southern Africa 1840, sells for a whopping R250,000. The book focuses on early exploration and deals with African wildlife, early explorers, and hunters.
