From the introduction: 'For as long as there have been African elephants, there have been men fascinated by their ivory. Africa was explored and opened to Westerners, in part, because of ivory. Ivory in exotic; it is precious; it can be made into lasting treasures that reflect the cultures of which they are part. Traded for hundreds of years, "white gold" is synonymous with luxury and those prosperous enough to be able to afford it.
'The organisation of this book is based on the weight of the tusks, going from the lightest weight to the heaviest. You will find that not only are all the chapters in the book organised according to this paradigm but also each chapter as well. Thus, the reader will find logical divisions in the book - chapters on tusks of 130 to 139 pounds, the next chapter on tusks of 140 to 19 pounds, and so on.'
