Watooka: A Story of British Guiana

by Steve Connolly

Children of Watooka: A Story of British Guiana by Steve Connolly, published in hardcover by Hansib Publications Limited in 2016. The copyright page identifies this as the first British edition and notes that it was issued to coincide with the 50th anniversary of Guyana’s independence, 1966–2016.

This illustrated work combines personal and community stories with the history of British Guiana, particularly the Watooka and Mackenzie area now associated with Linden, Guyana. Its subject matter includes the region’s people, expatriate communities, Guyana–Canada connections and the historical importance of the bauxite and aluminium industry.

This copy is flat signed by Steve Connolly on the title page and dated “Easter 2016.” The signature is not personalized. The book is a hardcover with its original yellow dust jacket and contains historical photographs, maps and other illustrations.

The seller grades the copy very good. The dust jacket displays light shelf and edge wear, including minor wear near the upper spine corner. The representative interior spread shown is bright and clean, with no writing, stains or tears visible on those pages, and the exposed binding appears secure. The book will be packaged carefully to help protect the dust jacket and signed title page in transit.
