El Jan 6 2021, un lector dijo:
I am drawn to Africa and this book speaks of S.Africa in the 20’s.
The opening pages state that the black man IS Africa, not the white man who came later. The. Author doesn’t tell a story but speaks of factual events of the African people. The diamond mines, gold mines, politics, and the ethnic groups that make up it’s people. the Jews, the Boers, The English, the Asiatics, the Half- castes , and many black tribes. This book was a History lesson in one volume. I learned more from her book than a course
i would get at a college. A treasure !

Sobre biblioboy
We are biblioboybiblioboy dealers in Books, Stamps, Ephemera, Victorian Trade cards, Magazines, Postcards, Sheet Music, Engravings, and much more. I started out as a book collector and soon progressed to owning a book store with over 80,000 books and more than 10,000 pieces of ephemera, postcards, and other items. I exhibited my stock for years at book and paper shows around the eastern United States. As the book and paper business has changed over the years, I have changed the way I do business to evolve with the times. I now offer my items for sale on the web only, through my various listing services and web sites. Being a a collector, as well as a dealer, I understand the importance of condition, as well as rarity of an item, and the desire to own scarce and one of a kind items.
