The book ranges from the early years of a century-scoring South African schoolboy, through the heady days of the "Mean Machine", the Transvaal team that dominated the domestic scene through the s, to Cook's seasons as Somerset's top run-maker and the historic tour of India in with the South African team.   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.
