This website is my service to the community and was created to
present
Stellenbosch authors of books, thereby
giving an idea what is going on in this lovely university town in
the middle of
South Africa's winelands. It was also my tool to find the
information for the
book, which was published in March 2005. Only 300 copies
were printed and soon
it will be sold out. Get hold of the book, Stellenbosch Writers, as
long as it is available!
or fax 021 8876 939 Introduction Acknowledgements | Congratulations on the book. It is
an excellent job. To paraphrase an old
Afrikaans poem , who could ever think that Stellenbosch has so many
writers.
You have performed a great service!
Hermann Giliomee
This book will be a valuable
piece of Stellenbossiana.
