"You cannot invent an algorithm that is as good at recommending books as a good bookseller, and that's the secret weapon of the bookstore - is that no algorithm will ever understand readers the way that other readers can..." - John Green

Being a Harry Hartog Bookseller

  • The Harry Hartog Bookseller is the heart and soul of our bookshops; the beautiful combination of their passions, expertise and individual quirks plays a tremendous role in making our shops unique and keeping our customers coming back for more.

  • Being a Harry Hartog Bookseller is much more than a retail job. When you join our team you join a community of people committed to spreading a love of the written word. You become part of a group of individuals driven in their belief that stories – both real and imagined – open the door to worlds you may never have visited, lives you may never have encountered, and experiences you may never have undergone.

    With every book you put in a pair of hands, you are contributing to the development of informed, empathetic and perceptive individuals who, in turn, will go on to shape the world we live in.

What Harry Hartog Booksellers Are Made Of (Or, What We Look For in a Bookseller)

Our booksellers are some of the best in the industry. We seek those who focus on providing an extraordinary customer experience. Our booksellers are friendly, professional and passionate. We inspire our teams to share their love of books with whoever is front of them or on the telephone line. Our booksellers are across the books we stock - both new and old -- and our exciting line of gifts and lifestyle products, ready to make suitable recommendations on both fronts.

We also encourage you to show your initiative when it comes to creating displays, planning and running special events and generating ideas for how to make your bookshop more unique and enticing.
