This comprehensive and beautifully illustrated practical companion for the hunter will be welcomes not only by big-game hunters of the world and those who aspire to take up the sport, but by all who serve the cause of game conservation. Every aspect of hunting in East and Southern Africa is covered in the first part of the book, from the early planning stages to the hunt itself. Step-by-step advice is given on the arrangements to make in advance and the basic requirements and equipment for the trip, including medical precautions. Your choice of trophies and the selection of the appropriate hunting rifle are considered in detail, and you will learn how to site your camp to advantage and how to track the animals in the bush. The second part of the book provides information on all the trophy animals to be found in this region, with a detailed description of each animal, the habitat preferences and habits of relevance to the hunter. Distribution maps accompany the section on each species and magnificent pen-and-ink drawings bring the animals to life and include illustrations of the spoor. Hunting tips on the tactics to adopt for particular game or for a special situation, such as a charging buffalo or tracking a wounded animal, are an important feature.

How we describe the condition of our books

We are very proud of the condition of the books we sell (please read our testimonials to find out more!)

New: Exactly as it says.

As New: Pretty much new but shows small signs of having been read; inside it will be clean without any inscriptions or stamps; might contain a remainder mark.

Very Good: Might have some creases on the spine; no hard cracks; maybe slight forward lean and short inscription inside; perhaps very minor bumping on the corners of the book; inside clean but the page edges might be slightly yellowed.

Good: A few creases on the spine, perhaps a forward lean, bumping on corners or shelfwear; maybe an inscription inside or some shelfwear or a small tear or two on the dustjacket; inside clean but page edges might be somewhat yellowed.

Fair: In overall good condition, might have a severe forward lean to the spine, an inscription, bumping to corners; one or two folds on the covers and yellowed pages; in exceptional cases these books might contain some library stamps and stickers or have neat sticky tape which was used to fix a short, closed tear.

Poor: We rarely sell poor condition books, unless the books are in demand and difficult to find in a better condition. Poor condition books are still perfect for a good read, all pages will be intact and none threatening to fall out; most probably a reading copy only.
