Availability

The table lists diaries, letters, monographs - both published and unpublished - and books both in and out of print. The scroll bar on the right hand side of the table will reveal its full extent. Most of these items have been acquired to assist in my researches or have been written or annotated by me and I can verify the titles and contents. Those items I do not own, such as the unpublished diaries, are shown in gray and cannot be verified as I have never seen them, but are on the table because I believe them to exist.

I would be interested in selling or exchanging my duplicates, which shown in bold. I am also interested in any Mafeking-related items. Please contact me in either case.
