SABA bids farewell to Peter Adams after 40 years

SABA secretary and bookselling legend Peter Adams elected to step down from his role after 40 years of selfless service to the book trade. Peter is a direct descendant of the family who opened Adams Books in Durban in 1865, and served as Managing Director for nearly 50 years. He served in various portfolios at the SA Bookseller’s Association for an uninterrupted period of more than 40 years. According to Peter, ‘Adams has never been totally profit focused. We have tried to give a good and needed service and see bookselling as a vocation as well as a business’. Long may his legacy endure.
