Item description from seller

1922 London, 8th edn, 527pp, profuse illus. In 1892 R.W. started his famous series of record books containing all the game animals of the world. The British Empire was at its zenith, and hundreds of sportsmen submitted measurements of the most exotic animals. The books quickly became the "bible" for hunters. Up to the 9th edition (1928), all animals of the world were covered. After that, record keeping became too large to be manageable in one book, and it was decided to concentrate on Africa alone. The first ten editions are, therefore, the most desirable of the series, which is still going strong today. No sporting book collection is complete without one or two of these early record books, which will give the reader much reading pleasure and information. Not a great copy, with damp marks on the binding, but with a VERY GOOD JACKET.

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.
