Czech (Kenneth) Bibliography of African Big Game Hunting Books 1785 -1999, pages 279/280,'Taylor's earlier work on choosing rifles for different species of big game which he notes should actually  be considered the 'dangerous' game of Africa, and not the variety of antelope. This book was written for hunters, since, as Taylor states in his preface, "it is an astonishing thing how little the average sportsman in Africa knows about rifles he uses." There are plenty of hunting episodes to reinforce his arguments concerning rifles for elephant, buffalo, rhinoceros and lion.'
