Small persistent stain on leafing edge throughout a third of the book. Dust jacket unclipped and in very good condition 

Oosthuizen's book is an incomparable work of reference. 

Apart from the invaluable and authoritative main text - which includes chapters on ceramics, model soldiers, glassware, stamps and covers, prisoner-of-war handicrafts, coins and notes, gold, silver and jewellery, tin and pewter, ephemera, textiles, and general collectables - the prelims are packed with information not easily found elsewhere, including a short but select bibliography and, especially, a chronological list of major Boer War events and an alphabetical reference of names and places. 

  • Jacket Condition: Very good
  • Binding Condition: Very good
  • Overall Condition: Good
  • Size: 8vo (258 x 180mm)
