Publisher's moiré binding with titles on front panel.

52pp.

A fine piece of printing, undoubtedly printed by inmates as printing was one of the skills learned by Herman Charles Bosman when he entered Pretoria Central Prison not long after this book was published. It proved to be a useful skill as Bosman printed his own books after he was released.

Not in SABIB. No publications from the Pretoria Central Prison recorded in SABIB before 1914.
