Ann Donald, former editor of Fairlady magazine, realised her dream and opened up a bookshop, and in 2006 Kalk Bay Books, with ceiling high wooden book shelves, got going.
Today it is described as the book shop with the best view in the world. It’s not only a bookshop; its a place to meet friends, share a glass of wine.. sometimes with visiting authors … and to browse around and maybe buy a book or two.
They host regular exciting events in the shop – book launches, discussions, lectures and readings which always attract local residents and book lovers from all over.
Whether you visit their book shop or look at their selection of books online, they will advise on, order or source titles for their customers.
Their on-line bookshop includes hand-selected fiction and non fiction books and they invite book clubs to register with them – they offer competitive discounts and their personal service ensures your book selection will be well-received by your fellow book club.

They want to encourage a love for reading for children and adults, and with the price of new books so high, they provide quality second hand books; some of them even being virtually brand new. They don’t stock damaged books – so you get your moneys’ worth.
They also offer a book exchange program for those who want to exchange their books and don’t want to spend money, except for shipping costs. They will also sell your books for you.
Once you have ordered your book and your payment is cleared, your books will be posted or emailed to you within 24 hours and you can expect your parcel within 3-5 days.
As an on-line bookstore, they offer a variety of favourite authors and a range of books to choose from, ordering and reading books has never been more easy.
