Books2Africa Press is the publishing department of Books2Africa, dedicated to producing and promoting books that advance African and Africa-connected voices, stories, and perspectives in global publishing.
To expand our publishing programme, we have recently acquired the rights to 25 titles previously published by Books of Africa Ltd, formerly an independent publisher of African books based in London. As part of this deal, “Books of Africa” will continue as an imprint of Books2Africa Press and some of these titles have now been refreshed and re-released as legacy editions.
Books2Africa has also launched The Africa Stand to showcase and promote African authors and publishers to a global audience at the London Book Fair (LBF), the world’s second-largest book fair. In addition to displaying our published books, we will also share The Africa Stand platform with other African authors each year.
So, its time to add some books to your shelves! Check out the catalogue of published books to order, knowing that every purchase helps improve education in Africa and promote African voices globally.

We try our best to get your order to you as soon as possible. After dispatch, our standard delivery (Royal Mail First Class) typically arrives the next day in the UK (but can take up to 7 days), in 6 days to the EU and 10 days worldwide. It is important to note that delivery times are out of our control, as we do not deliver the goods ourselves.
If the error is ours, we will reprint free of charge. If the error is yours, we will reprint for 25% of the original amount. If we have sent you the wrong size garment, we will absolutely remake it for you in the right size when you return it.
The guidance measurements given next to the shirts are supposed to represent what size person they fit. They are not the actual measurements of the garment itself, which naturally need to be larger than the person they are designed to fit.
Firstly, please ignore the washing instructions in the garment itself. These are for blank garments and not printed ones.
Wash your shirts at 40 degrees or less. Iron on reverse (cool). Do not tumble dry.
Whilst Royal Mail normally deliver all first class post within 1-2 working days, they can on occasion take longer. In the unlikely event that your goods do not arrive, allow 7 days before calling us. We cannot authorise any remakes before this time has passed as Royal Mail have been known to deliver within this time.
However, if you paid to have Express delivery, contact us immediately as we can provide you with the tracking reference to chase it with the carrier.
