112pp. Hardcover with DW. Pictorial end-papers. Beautifully illustrated B/W charcoal sketches throughout.

With the exception of some oxidized tape marks to the rear eps (presumably to hold a plastic cover in place) all pages are clean and bright. Bindery is tight with unclipped dust-jacket. There is a owner's name neatly penned to the front free end-paper. Dust jacket has a small nick at the top of the spine.

This book offers informed, affectionate and often amusing descriptions and stories of the background and way of life of the people of District 6 an area of Cape Town in South Africa. It is furthermore a portrait of the people of District 6, an area of Cape Town in South Africa, perhaps best known for forced removal of tens of thousands of its inhabitants by the apartheid regime in the 1970s (after this book was published).
