James Findlay Collectable Books

James Findlay meets many fascinating characters in his travels as an antiquarian book seller. With this channel, he is going to share with you some of the stories that make up this intriguing profession. 

James runs a book shop and gallery based on the third floor in the heritage building of the Cape Town Club . The club has been transformed by the talented Phil Thurston and is now a thriving club once again. 

On exhibition are hundreds of vintage posters; more than 500 antique maps; over a thousand hand-coloured botanicals and of course collectable books. “It’s the dramatic side for this fascinating industry that I’m trying to present here” says James Findlay who has been in the trade since 1997. "These items are artefacts themselves".
