What Books Are There About West Africans Cooking?

Where can I find and buy books about west African cooking? What are the recipe books of West African foods? The West African regions recipes have not been documented as well or as extensively as other global areas. Typically African recipes for sauces, soups and delicious stews which are locally eaten by hand are made by cooks that have practised their cooking skills over the generations. Elders have handed their cooking customs down the generations from mother to daughter and not looked them up in books.
