About This Book
A 110-page special-edition photographic record of the island of Zanzibar, from Stone Town to the Jozani Forest to the Spice Coast at Nungwi. This book features lay-flat binding and premium quality paper, and is intended both as a collectible and as a high-end gift. Books about Zanzibar are surprisingly rare, considering the island is widely visited, both as a tourist destination and as a learning centre for the Swahili language studies, with a vibrant, rich colonial and post-colonial history that goes back to the early 16th century wave of Arab migrations across the Indian Ocean and the early 18th and 19th century European explorers who settled on Zanzibar as a jumping-off point to explore the heart of the African continent.
