Nestled in the heart of the Natal Midlands at The Old Mushroom Farm, just outside Howick, we are a haven for book lovers, collectors and numismatists. What began as a fun project for founders Robert Cronjé and Adam Riley has grown into an eclectic treasure trove, brimming with rare items and timeless classics awaiting your discovery.

Our journey began with overflowing apple boxes of books and countless containers of collectables. What was once a personal collection soon outgrew our garages, and in May 2023, we transformed our love for books and history into a thriving physical store. Today, we are proud to offer an extensive selection of over 30,000 books, along with an ever-expanding assortment of coins, artifacts, and sought-after collectables.

At Midlands Books & Collectables, we believe every book and collectable has a story to tell. Whether you’re searching for a beloved classic, a rare first edition, or a one-of-a-kind treasure, our curated collection is designed to inspire and delight. Our friendly and knowledgeable team is always on hand to help you discover your next treasure.

Visit us at The Old Mushroom Farm, explore our shelves, and immerse yourself in a world of literary and historical wonders. And if you’re as passionate as we are, you might just need to make room for more books and treasures in your collection!
