Jurie Steyn het 'n probleem. Nie net moet hy 'n bestaan probeer voer uit boerdery in die Marico nie, maar boonop dien sy voorkamer as die Drogevlei-poskantoor – en Jurie as die posmeester. "Tussen posorders en bloutong weet ek nie watter werk die ergste is nie. Ek moet wa-ghries op my muilkar smeer en seelwas op die possak sit. Partykeer raak ek deurmekaar. Eendag gaan ek nog 'n inkomsteseel op my hotkantmuil plak en die Bekkersdal-possak met 'n halfmaan en 'n streep brandmerk. Dan sal daar moeilikheid wees," se Jurie. "Met my hotmuil, bedoel ek." Elke week kom die halfdowe Oupa Bekker, At Naude (wat 'n draadloos besit), buurman Gysbert van Tonder, die berese Johnny Coen, wat eens op 'n tyd 'n railway shunter op Ottoshoop was, en ander kleurryke karakters in Jurie Steyn se voorkamer bymekaar om te wag vir die Goewermentlorrie van Bekkersdal, wat hul pos en melkkanne moet bring. Sake van die dag word druk bespreek, en die gesprekke waartoe dit lei, is gewoonlik skreeusnaaks. Herman Charles Bosman het in die laaste 18 maande van sy lewe sowat 80 stories vir die reeks In the Voorkamer in die nuusblad The Forum geskryf. Bosman het dit self bestempel as die beste werk wat hy ooit gelewer het. 'n Bekkersdal-marathon en ander voorkamerstories volg op die sukses van In die withaak se skadu, die eerste Afrikaanse versameling Oom Schalk Lourens-stories.

How we describe the condition of our books

We are very proud of the condition of the books we sell (please read our testimonials to find out more!)

New: Exactly as it says.

As New: Pretty much new but shows small signs of having been read; inside it will be clean without any inscriptions or stamps; might contain a remainder mark.

Very Good: Might have some creases on the spine; no hard cracks; maybe slight forward lean and short inscription inside; perhaps very minor bumping on the corners of the book; inside clean but the page edges might be slightly yellowed.

Good: A few creases on the spine, perhaps a forward lean, bumping on corners or shelfwear; maybe an inscription inside or some shelfwear or a small tear or two on the dustjacket; inside clean but page edges might be somewhat yellowed.

Fair: In overall good condition, might have a severe forward lean to the spine, an inscription, bumping to corners; one or two folds on the covers and yellowed pages; in exceptional cases these books might contain some library stamps and stickers or have neat sticky tape which was used to fix a short, closed tear.

Poor: We rarely sell poor condition books, unless the books are in demand and difficult to find in a better condition. Poor condition books are still perfect for a good read, all pages will be intact and none threatening to fall out; most probably a reading copy only.
