The paper deals with some methodological and practical problems involved in writing and publishing histories of anthropology. A particular emphasis is on the situation with published books dealing with the subject in the former Yugoslavia, especially in Croatia, Serbia and Slovenia. The author then briefly reviews the usefulness of specific anthropological books for the teaching of history of anthropology. A recent revised edition of Eriksen and Nielsen's A History of Anthropology is used as the case study of the book on this topic. The paper concludes with several other relatively recent examples that demonstrate how writing history of anthropology combines practical and political aspects.
