Publisher's red cloth bindings with gilt titles to front panels and spines.

A complete set of all six volumes of the magnificent SOUTH AFRICAN BIBLIOGRAPHY (SABIB) containing all the known titles of books, pamphlets etc. printed in, or relating to, Southern Africa up to the year 1925.

Complete bibliographical details of all titles are recorded, including size, number of pages, publisher/printer, author, district of imprint, locations of known copies in South African repositories, details of reprints and later editions.

In the late 1950's the South African Library started a survey to record all the known titles of books printed in, or relating to Southern Africa that were held in South African repositories. The project culminated in the publication of the four volumes of the South African Bibliography (SABIB) in 1979. A supplement volume (volume 5) was published in 1991 recording titles that were overlooked in the initial survey, and an index volume (volume 6) was published in 1997.

The South African Bibliography is a most indispensable aid for any Africana book collector or dealer.
