Quagga Rare Books & Art

Quagga Rare Books & Art is a family-owned antiquarian bookshop on Main Road in Kalk Bay, founded in 1990 and specialising in rare and unusual books, maps, artwork, photography and ephemera. The shop has built a distinctive footprint in the antiquarian book trade through its eye for the unusual, covering categories from Africana and Afrikaans titles to Anglo-Boer War history, art and architecture, biographies and children's books.

Customers can browse the shop's interesting mix of stock in person in Kalk Bay or through its online catalogue, and the business ships worldwide using a secure airmail process. It also provides accredited valuations of rare items. It suits collectors and researchers looking for scarce South African books, maps and ephemera rather than new releases.
