Additional Info:	Fontein Books has for several years participated in Antiquarian Auctions and its predecessor. Its countrywide reputation is based on limiting its collection to very good or better copies of recently published books, good or very copies of older books, and books in a lesser condition only when their rarity justifies this. Fontein specialises in books on the Free State and Northern Karoo, and is an active buyer and seller in these fields. It also has reasonable holdings of Africana, both Anglo-Boer wars, biography, history, military history, natural history, travel and English literature. Fontein's owner, Richard Proctor-Sims, was an editor, writer and small publisher for more than forty years.
