The patriarch of all bookstores in Botswana

One of the first establishments used by the men of the cloth to cultivate the culture of reading among the Batswana is what is today known as the Botswana Book Centre (BBC) and its publishing wing, Pula Press.

Back in the day when there were few bookshops in Gaborone, the favourite hangout for bookworms was the Book Centre. That was where Gaboronians and visitors to the capital would lay their hands on their favourite books, newspapers and magazines.
