Swahili

Swahili (1975) by D.V. Perrott – David McKay
Offered by Crappy Old Books – where the books are dusty but the language still speaks.

Brush up your greetings, master the noun classes, and wrestle with verb structures in this classic 1975 introduction to Swahili by D.V. Perrott. Published by David McKay, this unassuming paperback has been the faithful guide of many a wide-eyed linguist, Peace Corps volunteer, or curious traveller who thought, "How hard can it be?" (Spoiler: it’s hard. But Perrott does his best.)

This is old-school language instruction—no QR codes, no apps, no nonsense. Just tattered pages, occasional marginalia from someone braver than you, and the gentle musk of academia past.

Crappy Old Books – Unearthing forgotten knowledge, one foxed page at a time.

I think the first fwe pages are missing, but its nothing serious, it just starts at the introduction, so all the stuff about when it was published is not there.

ex-library book, frony page might have been torn out when discarded.

Date is a guess.
