How it works

Register

  • "This book has been compiled to stimulate an interest in the subject of 'Place Names' and arouse those who read it to study the origin and history of the names in their own district or locality." - from the author's preface

Brown pebble-cloth boards, black-lettered to the upper panel and spine, plain endpapers, folding map showing the migration of stock farmers in the Cape Colony during the 18th century + 185 pp of text, appendixes and index + 2 pp of publisher's info

The covers remain very good, the contents are complete and unmarked, the endpapers are lightly foxed, but more than half of the text pages are foxed or sunned, though not so much as to dull the clarity of the type
