About Hemingways
Step inside and be transported to a magical world of literature. Our shelves are a treasure trove of new, used, and antiquarian books, with a special focus on Africana and collectable titles. From the moment you enter, you’ll understand why we’re often compared to the legendary Shakespeare and Company in Paris.
We invite you to lose yourself in our maze of books, discover hidden gems, and share in our love for reading. Our knowledgeable and friendly staff are always on hand to offer a recommendation or simply chat about your favourite authors.
