From the introduction: "The primarv aim of the Guide has been, since its inception, to list books which provide information and facts on any given South African subject It has not always been practicable or possible to include only 'reference books', according to the generally accepted definition of the term. It is necessary, in the view of the compilers, to include handbooks, manuals and histories wherever conventional reference books (such as dictionaries, yearbooks and encyclopaedias) do not exist for a given subject field...The Guide is not limited to books published in South Africa : important works of reference on South African topics published abroad are included. The selection criteria for inclusion in the Guide place additional emphasis on more recent books, particularly those reflecting the new democratic South Africa. Older publications are included if, in the compilers' view they are of enduring reference value, regardless of date.

No priority/international, except by special arrangement. "Beginning in the early 20th century and continuing into the 1990s, Addison Scurlock, followed by his sons, Robert and George, used their cameras to document and celebrate a community unique in the world. They captured weddings, baptisms, graduations, sporting events, civil protests, high-society affairs and visiting dignitaries. It was for portraiture, however, that the Scurlocks became renowned; they continue to be recognized by scholars and artists as among the very best of 20th century photographers who recorded the rapid changes in African American urban communities nationwide. Among the portraits' subjects are luminaries such as Marian Anderson, Duke Ellington, Ralph Bunche, Mary McLeod Bethune and Muhammad Ali. Many of the photographs show Washington as the mecca for leaders in African American business, culture and higher education long before New York City's Harlem. They depict successful businesses such as the Underdown Delicatessen, prominent churches such as the Lincoln Temple, myriad community and leisure events such as a summer outing at Highland Beach in Maryland and sporting events at Howard University's Griffith Stadium. The images are drawn from the Scurlock Studio Collection, preserved since 1997 at the Archives Center in the American History Museum." - Publisher.. 1st. Paperback. Fine. 4to.
