With the publication, during July 2000 of her excellent & well researched
book " An Illustrated Guide To Ginger Beer Bottles for South
African Collectors" (ISBN 0-620-25981-7). Ethleen Lastovica
of Cape Town did the hobby a wonderful service.
Many Diggers and collectors were perhaps unduly critical of the
time taken since inception of the concept and possibly unfairly
impatient to see the end result without appreciating the tremendous
amount of research (and cost) involved.
Be this as
it may, the publication is of immense value to the serious collector
and of great interest to researcher and beginner alike.
We will
(with the authors permission) be quoting from and referring to this
invaluable publication. |
