Booktown Richmond Headquarters
makes an appeal for books
Our new Booktown HQ housed in the former Municipal Library on Loop Street is going to establish a library of notable Africana, in the fields of literature, poetry, paintings and prints, history, indigenous art and culture, and geography. makes an appeal for books
This collection of books, art and prints will we pray, become a centre of excellence for this and future generations. A successful Booktown must offer a huge volume and variety of books for sale, but it must also be the home to libraries of great books in permanent collections for all to enjoy.
We are appealing to all interested South Africans who have collections which they would like to see in just such a permanent home, to contact us.
Perhaps you would like to see your collection bequeathed in loving memory of a relative, which memorial will be engraved on a brass plaque?
As a book collector, one always looks at the sad reality that "in the fullness of time" one's collection is broken down and dispersed. A bequeath will ensure that your collection lives on and can be used by researchers, writers and historians, and anyone else interested in our wonderful country.
