Book Review: From Great Constantia to Google: 1685 to 2010

Abstract

Some years ago, Affinity Publishing’s Ken Wilshere- Preston, while researching material for the South African Brand Museum project, discovered that the Companies and Intellectual Properties Registration Office (CIPRO) holds a rich archive of original and trademark registration forms dating back to 1877. Wilshere- Preston realised that an official record of South Africa’s branding history existed, and he and a team of researchers embarked on a journey to document these treasures in a volume comprising 304 pages.
