About Lotus Bookstore:

 

 

Lotus Bookstore is an independent online second-hand bookstore, established in 2019. Our catalogue has good quality books by popular authors across different genres and locally-produced bookish merchandise. We’re based in Cape Town, South Africa and deliver across the country!

In 2016, we shared book reviews and bookish features on Lotus Book Blog. You can read more about why Lotus Bookstore was started on our blog post here.

We started selling used books in 2019 and have been stocking booklovers' bookshelves since then! Over time, we have expanded our collections and bookish merchandise range to support other local brands throughout South Africa.

Our payment provider, PayFast, is a secure online payment system that protects your details and uses safe payment methods. We have delivered to all major cities and most rural cities across the country, with 3 delivery methods including Fastway Couriers, Paxi and PostNet.

 

Our vision is to keep the reading community in South Africa alive and thriving while helping 25 local bookish businesses grow and succeed before 2025.
