"This book has been written for the man of moderate means, and with the intention of showing that the camera and the rifle are not incompatible companions of a hunting trip. The telephotos of living animals, not one of which has been taken from a hide, are intended to give some idea of the country which they inhabit and the circumstances under which a sportsman is likely to see them; also to draw attention to the very interesting forms of animal life to be met with round the camp and on the march. "

[The author] provides chapters on various game to be stalked, how to stalk and where to stalk. While most of the text concerns a how-to approach, the author does include brief vignettes of his own experiences hunting goral, bear, tiger, barasingh, and other species." (Czech). .
