About Us

Christison Rare Books is based in Gqeberha (formerly Port Elizabeth), South Africa, and operates largely as an online dealership. We are specialists in the natural heritage, anthropology, military campaigns and lore of Southern Africa, though we do also carry more general stock. Whatever your interests or budget, we believe that you will find our pricing very reasonable and our service friendly. Several secure payment options are available. Our decades of experience in safely shipping rare books around the world provide the assurance that your purchase will reach you unharmed. We are established members of the Independent Online Booksellers Association (IOBA) and the Southern African Book Dealers Association (SABDA): a guarantee of our commitment to maintaining the highest standards. Collections and single items of note are bought. We pay well for interesting material, and are willing to travel in pursuit of worthwhile items.
