Showing items in West Indies Books - Jamaica
Below is a list of my stock of old secondhand and antiquarian books on Jamaica for sale.
A large library of books on Jamaica can be formed. The bibliography of books on Jamaica by Frank Cundall is worth acquiring and fortunately a reprint has been published. This book is not in stock at the moment though.
Postage and packing is extra but costs are kept to a minimum. On overseas orders I can offer cheap shipping per airmail M Bag service where total weight is over 1.5kg (3lbs) Cost will be advised after you have submitted your order and before payment is taken.
