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.
