Item description from seller

1951 London, 445pp, illus, end-paper map. James Mellon, who wrote AFRICAN HUNTER, wrote of this book."No one but a madman would go on safari without a copy of Big Game Shooting in Africa." He planned all his trips with this work in hand. Covers virtually all of Africa and its animals. The accounts of early hunting expeditions into Africa, mainly post WW I till the late 1920s, must be read to be believed. In these days one could hire porters and animals such as donkeys or camels and trek into the interior for weeks, sometimes months, on end and essentially shoot without limit, albeit the contributing authors display a remarkable self-restraint when it came to selective hunting. Contributors include; Major H.C. Maydon, H.R.H. the Duke of Gloucester, R. Akroyd, Captain G. Blaine, Lt.-Col. R.E. Drake-Brockman, Major F.D. Browne, Major G. Burrard, A.L. Butler, Major A.L. Cooper, Major P.H.G. Powell-Cotton, Sir A.P. Gordon-Cumming, Bt., Dr. H.L. Duke, Colonel Stevenson Hamilton, A.C. Knollys, Denis Lyell, Captain A.T.A. Ritchie, Captain M.W. Hilton Simpson, N.B. Smith, Colonel H.G.C. Swayne, Colonel J.L.F. Tweedie, H.F. Varian, and R.C. Wood. While all sections in this book are worth reading the ones by Gilbert Blaine and Hugh Maydon are especially so. Fine in in very good jacket with pieces missing.

Description de la boutique

World Wide Hunting Books, from the Publisher of Sports Afield magazine, sells fine antiquarian big-game hunting and exploration & hunting books on Asia, North America, Europe and Africa. World Wide Hunting Books’ stock is mainly antiquarian first editions that are in above-average condition; we have the collector in mind when we buy our books. If you are looking for a rare first edition on elephant hunting or a book on an expedition after wild sheep in Asia that took place over a century ago, you will likely find it in our extensive stock. We have books on tiger, bear, wild sheep, elk, ibex, buffalo, rhino, elephant, and lion hunting. We also have early exploration and hunting accounts from North America, Asia, and Africa. If it is a book on big-game hunting and if it is out of print, it is likely we have handled the book in our thirty-five-plus years of being in this field. We maintain a detailed, proprietary database with seven thousand-plus entries with bibliographical notes that helps us keep track of the thousands of hunting books ever printed. We work with small collectors as well as huge university libraries. We are proud to have helped some of our customers create collections that contain more than one thousand books, but we are equally happy to provide you with that one special book you have always longed for or want to present as a gift.

Spécialité

North America and related printed items, Asia, Books on Big-Game Hunting in Africa, wingshoothing and Sporting Firearms Books, and vintage images. Also African exploration, and sporting magazines before 1950.
