Secondhand Booksellers specialising in Africa (UK based)

I am lucky to live near Oxford, which has plenty of second hand book sellers, one or two of which have small Africana sections.

Away from Oxford we have used:

Peter Ayre
"A selection of out of print and scarce items mainly related to East Africa."
Somerset UK
PeterJAyre@cs.com
( www.abebooks.com/home/TREMLETT/ )

E Chalmers Hallam (Laura Hiscock)
laura@chalmershallam.freeserve.co.uk
www.hallam-books.co.uk

And for these we have had recommendations:

Gerald Rilling
"Out of Print (Primarily) books on East Africa"
eafricabk@ix.netcom.com

Yesterday's Books
Bournemouth UK
david@yesterdaysbooks.demon.co.uk

Kenya Books
info@Kenyabooks.com
(www.abebooks.com/home/KENYABOOKS/)

And we have seen these advertising

Risborough Books
Specialising in books on East and Central Africa
Princes Risborough UK +44 1844 343165

On line, as well as all the obvious places like Amazon, try:

The nhbs Tanzania page

and
abebooks which has more and more secondhand books everyday.

I've recently discovered Questia - The Online Library - "Now with over 47,000 books and 375,000 journal, magazine, and newspaper articles" - and I've been surprised just how much African material it contains. You have to subscribe.
