In a unique cultural statement, Kaapse Klopse features the colourful and lively Cape Town Minstrel Carnival, held for the first three days of the New Year. The music and dance style of the 'Kaapse Klopse' (Cape Minstrels) was influenced by the North American minstrel troupes that visited the Cape in the late 1880s. Traditionally, the colourful and lively minstrels cavort through the city, singing and dancing to the sound of banjos, tubas, guitars, ghoema drums and whistles. The book features extraordinary contemporary photographs of this event by Gerald Hoberman, with an historical overview as well as unique photographs of District Six and Bo-Kaap, taken by him in 1969. The entertaining and insightful traditional minstrel songs are published with English translations for the first time - a valuable contribution to the cultural history of the Cape.

Gerald and Marc Hoberman's "London" is the very quintessence of this great city, an incisive manifestation of surprise and delight. It is a celebration and an important record of England's capital at the dawn of the new millennium. The well-known comment of Samuel Johnson, 'When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life', is as true today as it was in 1777. Johnson went on to say, 'for there is in London all that life can afford', which also still holds good. It is a city which bursts with museums and galleries, some of which are amongst the finest in the world; it has one of the highest number of theatres found in any capital city; it is a shopper's paradise for the discerning buyer and bargain-hunter alike; its pubs, clubs and restaurants are numerous, varied and legendary; and it has vast expanses of parkland for recreation and leisure. London is a city of immense size, where the old and the new live comfortably cheek by jowl. Pageantry, modern technology, quaint customs, the latest in fashion, ancient traditions, the bustle of modern-day life, the tranquillity of a garden square, international finance, street traders and architectural masterpieces appear to have been thrown into a vast melting pot and have survived to provide an irresistible medley of ancient and modern. "London", in both pictures and words, speaks for itself.
Gerald and Marc Hoberman have walked the streets and hills of San Francisco and taken to the air to seek out the vistas of a mystical urban kingdom bounded by bay and ocean, set apart by its vision and unique frame of mind. Their photographs of San Francisco's Golden Gate and Bay Bridges span the gulf between the myth and the reality of a city which was founded by Spaniards, put on the world map by a Gold Rush, shaken and burned by a mighty earthquake and conflagration, then built anew from the ashes. With precision, the Hobermans lenses encompass the skyscrapers of the Wall Street of the West and America's capitol of innovation. In neighborhoods like Chinatown, North Beach, and the Haight-Ashbury, the photographers have documented a cosmopolitan melting pot of ethnicity, lifestyles, and diverse philosophics. "San Francisco is produced to the highest standards, combining cutting-edge, state-of-the-art reproduction and printing technology with the timeless art of creating fine books that endure. San Francisco writers Maxine Cass and Fred Gebhart contributed their unique perspective with original text for each striking photograph. "San Francisco, the book and the city, can be savored time and time again by those who yearn to leave their hearts in San Francisco.
