Here are the lists of titles still available for shipment. Click here to view the list of books and here to view my list of photocopied articles and book chapters. If you are affiliated with a school or library (whether the latter is affiliated with an educational institution or not) and are interested in any of the following titles, please contact me at mllillel@wisc.edu. If you have other, specific titles that you need - whether serials or monographs - feel free to contact me as well; the "available" list is just what I have on hand, they are not the only available titles.
Let me also just take a moment and suggest you look into the Sierra Leone Writers Series. They are working both to cultivate writers and readers [through free distribution to schools of their publications subsidized by purchases] in Sierra Leone and are well worth your consideration if the issues and problems that motivate this site are of interest to you. I have both bought one of their published works and sent off a personal donation.
