​​In the footsteps of Gandhi​​

In the footsteps of Gandhi – an illustrated history of Johannesburg's Linksfield Ridge and environs - Alkis Doucakis (Colors, 2007)
This is a well-researched look at the interesting area of Linksfield Ridge and its surrounding suburbs, where Mahatma Gandhi and his architect friend Hermann Kallenbach used to live. Although somewhat dry, the book picks up on intriguing facts and personalities of the area. The author has assembled some great historical pictures of the area which give a good sense of the growth of the suburbs. (Phone 011 402 7141 to buy the book)
