Publisher's de luxe edition limited to 100 numbered copies, this being number 25.

Quarter brown faux leather binding with suede sides and gilt titles on spine. 

xviii + 292pp. Illustrated.

Solid binding. Internally clean. 

Presentation inscription by the author on the title page, "Coenraad, To a kindred spirit. May this book broaden your perspectives regarding what society has come to call "Wildlife Conservation". With my best wishes, Ron." Additionally signed by Thomson at the centre of the title page and dated 13 August 1992.

'This is a book about "wildlife management". It was written, specifically, for the non-scientist conservationist, and in layman's language. Its purpose is to create a "properly informed public".

'No person who calls himself a "conservationist' - whether he, or she, be a graduate ecologist, or just a serious-minded amateur - can afford NOT to have THIS book on his bookshelf. By the middle of the 1990s it will, without doubt, have become the nature-lover's "bible"; and it will most assuredly remain a major wildlife reference book well into the next century.'

This book was awarded five international wildlife conservation awards and is currently still out of print.
