A propos de cet article

THIS SET IS LISTED FOR SALE ON BIBLIO AND FACEBOOK FOR A CHEAPER PRICE.

Complete 24-Volume set of the African Collection published by Briar Patch Press. Each volume is like-new, unread, only admired a time or two. Each volume is #96 and still retains its original wax-paper protection. Only 500 sets of the Limited Deluxe Edition, each volume in a slip-case, were produced / sold worldwide. Many of the original first editions of these big-game African hunting books are very expensive.

This is a beautiful set of books, far nicer than the leather used for the trade editions.

I have an original advertisement from the publisher: "Bound in top-grain cowhide and individually numbered, the deluxe version sells for $. The regular version of the book, also bound in genuine leather, sells for $. All books are printed on high-quality, acid-free paper, featuring hand-marbled end papers, gold stamping and raised hubs and spines." Also, with silken page marker.
