Czech (Kenneth) An annotated Bibliography of African Big Game Hunting Books, 1785 to 1999: A key book for both the novice and experienced hunters. Stigand and Lyell combine their encyclopaedic knowledge of African big game to detail where wild game will be found, its habits and how to make vital shots on different species. Also of great interest are the life size hoof and paw prints, as well as illustrations of droppings. There is also an excellent chapter on rifles based on their own experiences.
