Bushveld Doctor
R85.00
Quick Overview
Bushveld Doctor is the closest Louis Leipoldt came to an autobiography. It deals with his life as the first Medical Inspector of Schools in the Transvaal, from 1914 onwards, "years of pioneering inspection", he wrote, "not likely to be forgotten... I travelled many thousands of miles every year, by rail, in a motor car, and on horseback: sometimes alone, sometimes accompanied by a school attendance officer to guide me when the road were not marked in the map..." Leipoldt's eye-witness account of an almost lost period of rural South African life, with its pleasure and problems, its achievements and defeats, is rich with anecdote and insight.

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.
