Bloemfontein: Die Onstaan van 'n Stad 1846-1946
In 1846 is 'n klein Britse garnisoen in die nabyheid van die Bloemfontein geplaas in 'n poging om die vrede in die Transoranje te bewaar: honderd jaar later het hier 'n stad van meer as sestigduisend inwoners bestaan. Hoe dit gebeur het, is die onderwerp van hierdie titel deur Karel Schoeman, 'n boorling van die Vrystaat. Volgens Schoeman wou hy vasstel hoe Bloemfontein in die verlede gelyk het en hoe dit was om hier te woon. Die gevolg is 'n boeiende stuk sosiale en kultuurgeskiedenis, wat op uitgebreide navorsing berus, maar beskryf word met al die literere vaardigheid waarvan hierdie Hertzogpryswenner hom reeds 'n meester getoon het.

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.
