    Hi Penny, I purchased a book in 2001 on Owner Building in South Africa and I believe that it was one you had written. I built my own home up in Polokwane in 2002 and I relied on that book extensively. I loaned the book to someone and have no idea who it was and have been unable to locate it for some years. The reason I am looking for that particular copy is because of the costing and quantity calculation that were laid out in the book. I see you have a new edition available but I would like to get the one I purchased then. Was this possible your book and if so would it be possible to obtain a copy?

    Regards
    Sean Mullin

  2. Hi Jeanette, Thanks for bringing this up. All publishers have restrictions on their copyrighted works internationally (©) so that the authors work is protected. Surely with the special offer of 50% off = R47.50 is not too much to ask for a second copy for your husband? Kind regards, Janek

    Hi Penny and Janek

    I ordered your book Energy Efficient Building in SA last year via the internet. As I was away from Cape Town for a number of months, I suspect that the book was delivered but returned.
    My details are as follows:

    Cell 0794659402
    P O Box 1286
    Cape Town

    I hope you can assist.

    Thank you

  7. Yes, the one with the White braai on the cover.

  8. I presume it’s the 64 page edition and not the very very old red cover – 24 pager?

  9. A appreciate all you help Penny, you are a star. Thank you again.

  10. Lindy I have posted on my FB page – and both building regs and owner building FB pages that someone wants a copy. I’ll let you know if anyone responds. Someone stole our only copy of Decorating on a Shoestring some years ago, and a few months ago I found a pristine copy on Bid or Buy… or it may have been Gumtree. I found a pristine copy of Motoring Atlas in our local 2nd hand shop a few weeks ago (Janek illustrated it a million years ago – well 26) … our original copy is sticky-taped together. Very well used 😉

  11. Thank you so much Penny, I will also see if I can find one.
    This is for my father, his got stolen.

  12. Lindy you may be able to pick up a secondhand copy somewhere. There are a couple of really good secondhand shops near us – I’ll see if either of them has a copy. I have two copies, one in good conditions and the other worn. I see that a copy sold on Bid or Buy in June for R35 (+ R20 postage and packaging).
    I found some for outrageous prices HERE! SHOCKING!AND HERE! I can’t believe it. Hardly Afrikaner just yet… I’ll see if I can find a copy; please let me know if you find one first.

  13. Good day,

    I am looking for a book called: Build your own braai by Penny Swift & Janek Szymanowski.

  14. Ndaba – what? You need to do a bit of work yourself. We are here to help guide you, not to be told to supply. Apart from which you do’t make sense. Good luck in your endeavours.
