I’ve looked this over and, as the book is under the Creative Commons license (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/), it is open to be shared and distributed. Printed versions are available for sale, but there is a digital version available for download. It might not be a bad thing, if possible, to include the text "To purchase this book (Price: £8.00), email your request to inasp@inasp.info with the subject line 'Digital Library Zimbabwe'." However, it isn’t absolutely necessary. Let me know if you have any questions.
