A propos de cet article

1996 Long Beach, 2nd edition, 326pp, photos color and b&w, 103 color and b&w illus. Living legend and holder of eleven sheep-hunting records, Rashid Jamsheed reveals his exciting accounts of obtaining world-record heads from his native Iran, and his eventual move to the U.S. where he procured a grand-slam of North American sheep. Jamsheed's trophies are as varied and impressive as the list of countries in which he has hunted. In Central Asia he obtained heads of Altai argali, Gobi argali, and Marco Polo argali--all of which are outstanding trophy quality due to his refusal to compromise his standards. For his Marco Polo sheep, he traveled three times to Asia and spent a combined ninety days before he connected with the ram of his dreams, an extraordinary 67-incher! But not only sheep have garnered Jamsheed's attention, he also tells of shooting some of the best markhor trophies ever--two of the heads reaching 60 inches--with his Suleiman markhor holding the world record! He has hunted every mountain range in Pakistan and Afghanistan in order to collect various markhor subspecies, and he has some of the biggest ibex heads ever taken. No man has ever spent more time in single-minded pursuit of mountain-game trophies than Rashid Jamsheed, and his book will never be repeated or equaled. Illustrated in color and black and white, and printed on coated paper in large format, it is one of the best mountain-hunting titles to be published in years.…

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. …
