Companion to South African Cartoonists
It took the authors nineteen years of research to collect information on the more than 500 cartoonists discussed in this publication. The book is unique because it provides, for the first time in English, information about 'the men behind the drawings' - press artists, the graphic journalists, pictorial hecklers and leg-pullers whose wit, humour and mockery the man-in-the-street is exposed to daily. This authoritative book lists cartoonists who have worked in South Africa since the first illustrated newspapers were published here during the nineteenth century, and including artists like Frederick I'Ons, Heinrich Egersdörfer, W.H. Shröder, A.W. Lloyd, Anton van Wouw, D.C. Boonzaier, T.O. Honiball, Quip, Evo, John Jackson, David Marais, Bob Connolly, Len Lindeque, Len Sak, Dov Fedler, and Keith and Lorna Stevens...

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.
