What started as a "Crazy Idea" turned into a Beautiful Reality.

What began as a crazy little idea between a mother and daughter—selling their beloved secondhand books online—has blossomed into a thriving, full-fledged online bookstore serving readers across South Africa.

Today, The Crazy Book Inn is run by a passionate husband-and-wife team who scour shelves, markets, and hidden corners to uncover literary gems. From fiction and history books to children’s books, cookbooks, and everything in between, we’re on a daily mission to bring you the best in pre-loved books.

Together, we make a formidable duo: photographing, cataloguing, and uploading fresh finds almost every day. Each book is handpicked, lovingly listed, and ready to find its next home.

Whether you’re a seasoned collector, a curious browser, or someone rediscovering the joy of reading, welcome to our inn. There’s always a story waiting for you here.
