His public career has been subjected to close scrutiny and judgement. Far less has been written about Rhodes as a man: about his personality, his friendships, emotional attachments, enthusiasms and human weaknesses. Here Brian Roberts has tried to balance the conventional approach with insights into his character and personal development and so provide a more rounded portrait.   A passion for books and a passion for collecting fine editions was the recipe that created the successful group of bookshops in Johannesburg called Bookdealers. The group started thirty years ago with one store in the quirky suburb of Yeoville and has grown through the years to a total of five shops, plus our online sales. Bookdealers is well-known for its collectable and used books. We also have a large variety of remaindered books sourced from around the world.  If you collect from one of our five branches there is no delivery charge. We also offer postal delivery (when available) and courier delivery, subject to a quote.
