In the early 1980s The Amwell Press began an ambitious project to produce anthologies of the African "Big Five." From 1984 to 1995 The Amwell Press produced four out of five titles covering buffalo, elephant, lion and leopard, in what it labeled its Big Game Series. All four books became part of its African Hunting Heritage Collection. Safari Press, in association with The Amwell Press, have now completed the series with the publication of Jim Rikhoff's Hunting the African Rhino.

Etat : Fine in fine slipcase. 2015 Long Beach, 1st edn, 475pp, drawings, ltd to 1000 copies, numbered, signed, slipcased copies. Finally, the long awaited and much anticipated "Rhino" book is available now. Safari Press has agreed to produce this book with James Rikhoff, the publisher of Amwell Press. The book was produced to match the physical appearance of the other four books in the Amwell series (elephant, buffalo, leopard, and lion), thus completing the matching set with similar binding, paper, and slipcase. As before, Jim Rikhoff has done a special commentary, and Guy Coheleach has created his magnificent color illustrations as well as his incredible pencil drawings of rhinos. The African rhino has sadly taken a huge hit in recent times, but there was a time, which extended well past World War II, when rhinos were incredibly plentiful. In fact, when Theodore Roosevelt proceeded from Nairobi on foot into the interior of Kenya in 1909, rhinos had to be shot repeatedly because they attacked the caravan and knocked over and sometimes even killed the porters. Later, John Hunter was paid to clear out hundreds of black rhinos from the Makueni district in Kenya in the 1930s. Imagine being paid to shoot rhinos, while currently, permits for the same animal go for hundreds of thousands of dollars! As with the other books in this series, the book is divided into four parts. The first section begins with the very earliest written records (in the English language) of rhino encounters and then continues through three additional sections with progressively more modern rhino-hunting stories. Some of the greatest names in the annals of African big-game hunting grace the pages of this book: Henry Stanley, A. Blayney Percival, Theodore Roosevelt, Fred Kirby, Jack O'Connor, John Batten, Elgin Gates, Edison Marshall, Bunny Allen, Dean Witter, Soren Lindstrom, Finn Aagaard, and many others.
