Colin CastelliAfricana E-Books
There have been several posts recently concerning African E-Books.
I have gotten off of my lazy butt and put my collection on our website. I am slightly OCD, so they have all been cleaned up and reformatted from the versions available at Gutenberg and the Internet Archive. They are all in PDF format and formatted for my Sony Reader, but should work equally well in any reader out there; or for reading on your computer.
Here are the books I have available:
An African Adventure: Issac F. Marcosson
African Camp Fires: Stewart Edward White
African Game Trails: Theodore Roosevelt
African Nature Notes and Reminiscences: Frederick Courtney Selous
The Defence of Duffer's Drift: Captain E.D. Swinton D.S.O.
