Since trophy rooms have curiously short lives (the collections are usually sold, donated, or accidentally destroyed when the owner dies), these beautifully detailed photographs and highly original text are not just rich in aesthetic value, but are also an important historical record of the world's greatest trophy rooms, many of which will no longer exist twenty years from now. A must-have for any hunter's collection
