Place Names in the Cape Province by Colin Graham Botha
Hardcover
Publisher: Juta and Co, 1926 First Edition
Cape Town : Juta pref. Very good copy with scattered marginal foxing in the original Brown pebble-cloth boards with black titles. Slightest suggestion only of dulling to the spine bands and panel edges and small creases to the top and bottom of the spine. Remains particularly well-preserved overall; tight bright clean and strong.
