THIS COLLECTION IS CHEAPER AT BIBLIO. This collection was built over a 25 year period and is likely the most comprehensive and complete collection of the first editions of Sarah Gertrude Millin in existence. This collection would fit nicely in a university library, but of course, any huge Millin fan is welcome to acquire this collection. Sarah Gertrude Millin was the most popular South African author during her lifetime, and is certainly in competition with Olive Schreiner and Nadine Gordimer for the most popular and important.
