About This Item
First edition, in this format. Green textured paper covered boards with gilt print on the spine. Minor edge wear to book and dust jacket. Little else. Deckle-edged pages are clean, tight and unmarked, with a few black and white photographs. The publisher included a disclaimer on the copyright page related to their use of the original language and attitudes, which many will find offensive today (see photo #5). Part of a larger library of books reprinting classic accounts of hunting in Africa in the 19th and early 20th century. A rare book.

Opened August 1st of 2022, Turtleman Used Books in Olympia, WA. Address is 108 22nd Ave SW, Olympia, WA 98501. Suite #4. This is a small shop, so some books may only be displayed online, others only displayed in the store. Come on by if you are in town. Closed Monday and Tuesday.
Many of my books are oversized. Rather than ask for shipping adjustments at the time of purchase, the list price for heavier books includes the excess shipping cost. All of my photographs are of the actual product, taken by my trusty little Kindle Fire. Currently we have about 2900 books offered for sale online, with more being added daily. Check back frequently to see what's new. -----
