Author: Bailes, Douglas. (Comp).
Title: Looking Back at Port Alfred.
Description: Self. nd. (2009). 134pp illustrated A4 paperback. 0.7kg. No inscriptions, a VG copy. Due to the coated paper and the glue used to bind the wraps to the glossed paper of the text block, many of these books have come apart over the years. Our binder, who has repaired a fair number of them, has put in new end papers and used a superior glue thus providing a stronger construction than the original. ISBN: 9780620402538 A pictorial history of Port Alfred in the Eastern Cape with many historical photographs. Lots of information on the harbour, the railway line to Grahamstown, the Blaauwkrantz Bridge disaster, 43 Air School, and much more.
