This week I dropped in to visit James Findlay’s bookshop situated in the basement of the Rand Club. If you have not yet visited the reborn Rand Club it is definitely worth it.

It’s a place to meet, enjoy a coffee, have a business meeting; you can even spend a night in a magnificent new bedroom suite. If you are a member so many more facilities opens up.

The Club is more accessible and much more part of the downtown business and tourist Johannesburg scene.
