This website presents some 550 authors of books. It is my service to the community and was created to present Stellenbosch authors of books, thereby giving an idea what is going on in this lovely university town in the middle of South Africa's winelands. It was also my tool to find the information for the book, which was published in March 2005. Only 300 copies were printed and soon it will be sold out. Get hold of the book, Stellenbosch Writers, as long as it is available!

Congratulations on the book. It is an excellent job. To paraphrase an old Afrikaans poem , who could ever think that Stellenbosch has so many writers. You have performed a great service!

This book will be a valuable piece of Stellenbossiana.

Quotes of the day:

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.
Dr. Seuss

Anything too stupid to be said is sung.
Voltaire

I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth.
Umberto Eco

Autobiography is an unrivaled vehicle for telling the truth about other people.
Philip Guedalla

There is a great deal of difference between an eager man who wants to read a book and the tired man who wants a book to read.
