More about this bookseller


Rare Collections is a specialist book dealer based in Cape Town. We predominantly focus on collectable, signed and investment books that cover a wide range of genres, including Speculative Fiction (Sci-Fi, Fantasy and Horror), Modern First Editions, Fine Press Books, Signed Books and more. We do try and cater for the full spectrum of collectors and bibliophiles and you will find items ranging from US$50 too over US$10000.

 

We make a concerted effort to source books in collectable condition and the majority of our stock is obtained from the USA and UK. We also strive to provide detailed descriptions and photos of each of our books to make sure you have all the buying information you might require. We use internationally accepted ratings of book and jacket condition. Our focus is books in collectable condition and we will generally not sell books with ratings lower than Very Good (unless they are exceptionally rare).
