To Timbuktu for a Haircut – one heck of a book!

 

Rick Antonson’s To Timbuktu for a Haircut garnered yet another good review, this time in the Globe and Mail on Saturday, Aug. 9th.  Here’s part of what they had to say: “chapters are nicely embroidered with local tones and textures, a regional history of West Africa, the Tuareg people and accounts of early European exploration.”  This followed the splendid review that appeared in The National Post on July 26, who summed up their 1/2 page coverage thusly: “Anyone interested in travelling to Africa should put Antonson’s book on the list, right after malaria tablets.”
