A "complete" set of Shelagh O'Byrne Spencer: British Settlers in Natal 1824 - 1857. All that have been published, Volumes 1-7, Abbott - Guy. It is unlikely that any more will be published, and the series will certainly never be completed. UKZN will hardly admit to being the publisher. Curiously, there is still a distributor in the USA that has copies. AS very rare set. JWL Rennie: The Scottish Settler Party of 1820. A monumental history of the Scottish party led by Thomas Pringle that settled along the Baviaans near Cradock on land confiscated from the Slagtersnek rebels. A very rare set of 2049 pages in four volumes. Curiously, the author's heirs have very recently refused permission to publish this work in electronic format. In trying to establish a value for the collection, I find that many of the books are simply not available. For example, the works above and AJ Boeseken: Slaves and Free Blacks at the Cape. At a conservative value of USD $100 per volume, these 250 books total to a serious amount of cash! I am delighted the collection will be preserved.

Good morning Keith I would draw your attention to a recent announcement on shelaghspencer.com: "Volume 8 – ‘Haigh to Hogshaw’ is with the University of KwaZulu-Natal Press. We do not know when it will be published, please refer all queries about the publication date to the Press."

What worries me is the huge data base Shelagh has...all on cards in shoe boxes.
