Van Schaik Bookstore has a proud heritage as one of the oldest bookstores in southern Africa and reached our 100-year milestone in 2014.
It is arguably Southern Africa’s leading academic bookstore chain with more than 70 stores located in South Africa, Botswana, Swaziland, and Namibia.
In addition to these outlets we have several seasonal sales points, online sales through our website, and a library supply service. Van Schaik Bookstore has experience in optimally servicing institutions, professionals, and students by deploying the most appropriate sales channel required. Academic materials and associated products are supplied to an institution on campus or in some instances, a customized selling platform can be crafted in recognition of the diverse environments we serve. By maximizing Van Schaik Bookstore’s resources and vast experience, we are able to deliver a service to the institutions, staff, and students compared with the very best in the world. This is in line with the Company’s mission to serve our clients in Africa with quality education material in order for them to achieve their educational goals, which in turn uplifts the greater community’s standard of living.
Our excellence has been recognized by the garnering of industry awards such as the prestigious Sefika Academic Bookseller of the Year Award from 2012 to 2017.
