Pick-A-Book is a welcoming independent bookstore serving the Witpoortjie community and readers across South Africa through both our physical store and online shop. We believe books have the power to inspire, educate, and bring people together — and our shelves reflect that belief.

Tucked away in Witpoortjie, Pick-A-Book is a true hidden gem where every visit feels like a treasure hunt. Our carefully curated collection includes a wide range of second-hand books, from fiction and non-fiction to gardening, self-help, dictionaries, children’s stories, teen reads, and war & history titles. We also stock brand-new children’s books, making us a favourite stop for young readers and parents alike.

But Pick-A-Book is more than just a bookstore. In-store, you’ll also find a selection of Christian T-shirts, Avon and Justine products, traditional boerseep, freshly baked cookies and rusks, and even pet essentials like dog food, cat food, and bird seed. There’s truly something for everyone.

For our online customers, we make shopping easy and convenient with nationwide courier delivery via Pudo, bringing your favourite reads straight to your door.

Whether you’re browsing in person, ordering online, or simply popping in for a treat, Pick-A-Book is a place where community, comfort, and a love for books come together.

Come for the books, stay for the goodies — there’s always something special waiting for you at Pick-A-Book.
