Parktown Centenary Souvenir: 1892 - 1992
One hundred years ago, the stands in the about-to-be- proclaimed township of Park Town were laid out as away from the centre of the dust bowl that was then Johannesburg as they could be. Randlords flocked there. The Jameson Raid was plotted there. Lord Milner, eventually to reconstruct the remains of the shattered Zuid Afrikaansche Republiek and steer the province into becoming part of the Union of South Africa, lived there. Tracking the life of Parktown through the one hundred years of progress gives an incredible insight not only into the lives of its earlier inhabitants, but also into urban encroachment, redevelopment and the need for conservation. All this will be highlighted by the Parktown and Westcliff Heritage Trust in its Parktown Centenary Programme for 1992.

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.
