About This Item
London: HarperCollinsPublishers. Very Good+ in Very Good+ dust jacket. 1999. First Edition. Hardcover. 000255836X . DJ and boards show very light shelf wear, pages yellowed as is common in British books of this period.; A bright, solid book, dustjacket in Mylar, unclipped.; B&W Photographs; 9.2 X 6.1 X 1.2 inches; 260 pages; "Recounting his travels from Lake Victoria to the Cape of Good Hope, Taylor explores what the future holds for the white citizens of the black continent in which he was raised. Although skilled at reporting and storytelling, Taylor is less successful as a social and political thinker. His subjects, an eclectic mix, are not missionaries or explorers and may even lack Livingstone's dignity and vision. That they are white and living in sub-Saharan Africa is all that makes them members of "Livingstone's tribe."" .

About Ainsworth Books
Ainsworth Books was for many years a bricks and mortar store in Vancouver, BC. When we acquired the store, we moved to a location in Delta. After three years we moved the stock home and started operation as an online, by appointment only operation. I have worked with books my whole adult life and enjoy giving recommendations.
