Arne Schaefer & Zainu Vigis: Founder Member of SABDA
 I started my love affair with the African continent some 56 years ago. Since then I have been an avid reader on all aspects of the continent's history, humanities and natural history. At one time or another I have been an amateur historian, archaeologist, zoologist, botanist, geologist and traveller. I run the business with my part-time assistant, Zainu Vigis,from the basement part of my house, where we cram some 3500 volumes onto the shelves. All of these are on our database so searching is easy; we make extensive use of KEYWORDS - so try them if you are not sure what you are looking for. Speciality E-mail catalogues are issued on request, though we do publish a paper catalogue every four months for local South African customers.
 We specialize in books about Africa, with emphasis on Southern Africa. Our stock comprises books published between the 17th & 21st centuries, mainly in English and Afrikaans, with smaller numbers of Dutch, German and French titles.We keep a "WANTS" database, and welcome any request and will do our best to find uncommon items dealing with Africa.If required, scanned images of covers, or dustjackets are available for most books and these will be sent on request per E-mail.
All correspondence will be answered as promptly as possible; if you have not received a reply, it means we didn't get your message - it seems to happen sometimes. If you wish to phone or fax us, please do, but please take into account that our time zone is GMT+2, as we need our beauty sleep and are not too good at answering book queries at 3 am.
