Carefully chosen second-hand books, clearly described.
Karin’s Treasures is a small, independent second-hand bookshop in Pretoria, created for readers who love well-kept books and thoughtful finds.
Every book is personally chosen, carefully checked, and honestly described. If there is wear, it is mentioned. If a copy is especially clean or special, that is mentioned too.
Karin’s Treasures is not a bulk bookstore, a book exchange, or a library. Books are added one by one with care and attention to quality, condition, and readability, always at fair and realistic prices. Still, if you need a quiet place to sit and read for a while, you are very welcome.
Many of the books at Karin’s Treasures are sorted, cleaned, and photographed right here.
We believe second-hand books should still feel special — just with more character, and at a better price.
