Following
the successful launch of our first book, “101
Country churches of South Africa,” my co-author Darryl David and I were
very keen to extend our offering to the book-reading public, and this resulted
in the production of our second book, “A
Platteland Pilgrimage: 102 Country churches of South Africa.”
Our new
book contains considerably more detail than the first one – we have included
more church interiors, showing features such as organs, pulpits, galleries and
stained glass windows, we have described more history, we have explored the
relationship of the church vis-a-vis the town or village where it is situated,
and have also included more than one photo per church where we could. There is
a four-page section featuring South Africa’s best-known church architects, and
an easy-to-read double-page map, showing where each town is placed.
We launched
our book at the Boekbedonnerd Book
Festival held at Richmond, Karoo, to critical acclaim, and, in the space of six
weeks, have sold some 125 copies. There are some 350 copies in our stock at
present.
The book
contains 132 pages, all in full-colour, A 4, soft cover. Price is R 250 + R 25
postage. You can obtain the book by contacting me at Philippe.menache@gmail.com or 083 307 4041. It is also available through
Kalahari.com
For less
than the price of half a tank of petrol, we guarantee that our product will
give you hours of reading pleasure!
