"Africana Repository is a book for collectors, be they experts or amateurs. It contains much information not easily accessible, but of primary importance to everyone interested in books about South Africa. It is written by an expert with a deep knowledge of all types of Africana and with the resources of the Johannesburg Public Library and the Africana Museum at his disposal. The emphasis is on books, their editions, translations and illustrations. But this is not a dull treatise. It began life as a series of lectures to a group of laymen and will hold the attention of the reader in exactly the same way as the lectures enthralled the audience because many excellent stories gathered through a lifetime of reading impart a light touch to much sound information. Reference is made to Portuguese, Dutch, French, German, Scandinavian and English writers on South Africa from the time of the Portuguese navigators until the discovery of gold on the Witwatersrand.".
