How it works

Register

For over 200 years, big game hunters journeyed to Africa in search of sport and adventure. Some were explorers garnering knowledge of a virtually unknown continent, while others were soldiers enjoying their leave, or missionaries pioneering among native tribes. A few hunted as a livelihood. Many recounted their adventures in book form.

Included in this bibliography are complete physical descriptions of the books, with special notation of maps and illustrated plates. The annotations provide details of hunting locales, as well as the big game species collected. A special suite of coloured plates shows a representative display of the bookbinders' art.

This edition is limited to 750 copies. Pages 181. This copy is in very good condition.
