The Johannesburg Explorer Book, by Mike Alfred and Peter Delmar (used)

Second-hand copy — condition: Good.

Johannesburg - You’ll find Joburgers in all sorts of odd places around the world. You see, we like to travel – and we like to tell people that. But what we don’t do is travel in our backyard and explore one of Africa’s most fascinating cities.

Now, writers Mike Alfred and Peter Delmar have removed one more excuse not to explore your city: that one of “where do we get information and where do we go?”

Their newly-published, and handily-sized The Johannesburg Explorer Book is the sort of thing tourists snap up in the most visited cities around the globe… and it is an ideal way for us to explore our own environs, whether we want to get out and explore or just absorb while ensconced on the couch.

And it’s a fascinating story, that this wild mining town has. It has always been wild and mining has always driven it since it was founded in the late 1800s.

Stories about Johannesburg's historic suburbs and streets.
