Adams and Company was started in 1865 to serve the stationery, magazine and book needs of the colonial community. The business grew with the town as Durban was the port to which most people going to the interior sailed and the equipment was mainly shipped through it. During the 1930’s Depression the business moved into its present city centre building, and as the city spread it opened branches. As official UNISA suppliers we try to carry stocks of books for all except the very small courses. Books for the other institutions are also stocked carefully and systematically with airfreight top-ups coming weekly from overseas in the busy periods. Not all our stock is listed on the website so do e-mail us for other books as well. In the picture below are some of the team that will look after your requests.
