1.Timbuktu: The Sahara s Fabled City of GoldTimbuktu: The Sahara's Fabled City of Gold
from Walker & Company
Price: $17.48

Customer Review:
_Timbuktu_ by Marq De Villiers and Sheila Hirtle is an engaging history of that fabled Saharan city, its name once synonymous in the West with both remoteness and as a place of wealth beyond imagination, of golden spires and wise and tremendously rich kings, exerting a "hypnotic attraction on the... more info

2.The Race for Timbuktu: In Search of Africa s City of GoldThe Race for Timbuktu: In Search of Africa's City of Gold
from Harper Perennial
Price: $0.75

Customer Review:
Absolutely brillant. The sheer detail is stunning. As a historical researcher myself I can honestly say this is a fine piece of work> The "White Mans grave" and the Sahara are brought so much to life that one can vitually feel part of the book.

Customer Review:
I have all the volumes of 5 Continents "Visions of Africa" series and I like every one. They give you a great perspective on the history of each tribe, past and current interpretations of their cultures and art objects.

Customer Review:
I read this book shortly before returning to my former Peace Corps site in Mali a few months ago. My "jatigi" family are the blacksmiths of a small village in the Mande region.

from Destiny Books
Price: $8.90

Customer Review:
Over the years of owning this book I have returned to "The Healing Drum: African Wisdom Teachings" again and again. As a person of African descent I find it incredibly enriching to read the stories of Yaya Diallo as retold by Mitch Hall regarding his upbringing in the musical culture of the Miniaka... more info

Victoria Rovine tells a great story and illustrates it with wonderful images of the indigenous textile from Mali, bogolanfini or bogolan, known as mudcloth in the US. Her book is strong on theory but also full of personal details about the people and the places where bogolan is made. Good for... more info

Great photos; book needs more text!

9.The Gates of Africa: Death, Discovery, and the Search for TimbuktuThe Gates of Africa: Death, Discovery, and the Search for Timbuktu
from St. Martin's Press
Price: $14.95

Customer Review:
It may be surprising to some (it was certainly surprising to me) that less was known about the interior of Africa at the turn of the 18th century than was known about the New World or the South Pacific. The coast around Africa had been heavily explored (and exploited) by Europeans, but virtually... more info

This is a great addition to the English versions available for fans of the "lion king" epic.
