Non-Fiction is the heart of the Midlands Books collection and by far our largest and deepest section, with thousands of titles covering the real world in all its detail. If you read to learn, to research or to collect, this is where you will spend your time. Our particular strength is South African and Africana material, but the range runs far wider, from natural history and military history to biography, religion and transport.
Browse Non-Fiction by subject:
Africana

Coffee Table Books
Many of these titles are scarce, out of print or collectible, and some are genuinely rare. Every book is a real book from our shelves in Howick, KwaZulu-Natal, with its actual condition described honestly, so you know exactly what you are getting. We pack properly and ship across South Africa and worldwide.
We are always buying good non-fiction, Africana and specialist libraries, so if you have a collection to sell or value, send co-owner Rob a few photos on WhatsApp, or browse the shelves below and see what you find.
