A Collective Voice For Booksellers.
The South African Booksellers’ Association (SABA) is the professional association representing booksellers across South Africa. We serve as a collective voice for the book trade and support a vibrant, ethical and inclusive bookselling community.
SABA actively promotes a culture of reading and learning while helping members deliver excellent, competitive service through advocacy, industry information, training, stakeholder engagement and business-development support.
Supporting Professional Bookselling
SABA works with relevant government departments, publishers, libraries, educational institutions and book-value-chain partners to strengthen the role of booksellers across South Africa.
Through advocacy, industry information, training, stakeholder engagement and business-development support, SABA helps members build capable, connected and competitive bookselling businesses.
