VAN SCHAIK BOOKSTORE LEADING THE WAY <\/strong><\/p>\n

Established more than 100 years ago, Van Schaik Bookstore is one of the leading academic bookstores in Southern Africa with more than 70 stores in South Africa, two in Namibia, four in Swaziland and one in Botswana. Van Schaik Bookstore also manages the four bookstores at the campuses of the University of Pretoria under the Bookmark brand.<\/p>\n

The company provides academic textbooks to the higher education and TVET markets in these countries in Southern Africa. Most of the stores in South Africa and the neighbouring countries are based either on or within walking distance from a campus. We also have stores in high streets or shopping malls to accommodate UNISA, TVET, College and school learners. Recently the bookstore chain has also entered the school book market to serve teachers and learners through different stores and platforms.<\/p>\n

1ST<\/sup> FOR YOUR ACADEMIC TEXTBOOKS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since it was established in 1964 Van Schaik Bookstore has provided books to the higher education market. Most notable amongst these\u00a0HigherEd institutions are UNISA and the University of Pretoria.<\/p>\n

Currently, Van Schaik Bookstore is represented on 25 of the 26 government tertiary institutions in South Africa either as an over the counter or self help bookstore.\u00a0 The presence of Van Schaik Bookstore on campuses benefits both students on campus and the general communities in the vicinity of these campuses. \u00a0This is a direct benefit for the institution and their students as not all students are lodging on campus.<\/p>\n

Lecturers<\/strong><\/p>\n

The majority of academic books stocked at Van Schaik Bookstores are largely a reflection of courses and modules offered at respective institutions.\u00a0 To that end our representatives on campus compile booklists with the help of lecturers to ensure that the needs of campuses are addressed.\u00a0 In compiling these booklists educators or lecturers are encouraged to provide the following details: book title, author(s), ISBN, quantity of books required and expected student numbers for respective modules, semester and date books required.\u00a0 All these details are confirmed with the lecturer before finalising the order.<\/p>\n
