Hello,

I was also interested in buying and bought this book and after visiting their previous office on Timau plaza I was lucky to get the forwarding address to where they had moved to. It is a fascinating and well documented book to say the least and would encourage one to get a copy if you are thinking/procrastinating on get one.

this is indeed a great masterpiece on gikuyu culture and tradition, but the price makes it unaffordable for many.

Nothing like the ‘civilizing’ entity stealing land and resources in exchange for putting in a good word for the ‘native’ in the form of a book. Oh, how relics like Leakey must miss good old colonized Africa. Do the new generation a favor and place a digital copy on Amazon please.

  I bought the set of three a few years ago from your office. The person using them has sadly written inside the front covers and on the edges of the pages. I would like to sell them some time. The reader died and I have now brought the books to UK to look at before selling them.7
