Book First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: New. First. 266 pages, An unprecedented offering of correspondence from the legendary gun writer, Jack O'Connor. A rare opportunity to acquire one of the many letters written to this longtime friend, John Jobson. A chance for those who want to learn more about O'Connor to read through descriptions of these letters- all were for sale and a few choice items remain. With a special Tribute to OConnor by Jim Rikhoff of the National Sporting Fraternity. O'Connor's writing career lasted an impressive 50 years, during which time he became known as the Dean of outdoor writers. The OConnor-Jobson correspondence lasted for 16 of those years and almost 300 letters were written. This must be the most impressive archive of OConnor material to surface. These letters contain much information on guns, especially the .270, a lot on reloading, opinions on other writers and participants in the outdoor industry, his salary, the good and bad things about writing books, prices he paid and received for certain rifles and even details of his contracts. In short, something on almost every facet of his legendary writing and hunting career. Also priced for sale are a few manuscript items and four books inscribed from Jack to Jobson.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. Reprint. FINALLY, the long awaited (it's been ten years) reprint of the best biography ever done on Bob Ruark. 336 pages, 43 ill. The first limited ed of 1,000 copies printed in 1992 sold out in less than a year! So we expect big things for this reprint edition. Through ten major books and thousands of newspaper columns, Ruark was known to millions around the world. In his short lifetime, he grew from "an old man's boy" to warrior, columnist, reporter and big game hunter. His newspaper columns in many ways accurately predicted what would happen in Africa when European powers engineered independence for their colonies. He was also a noted big game hunter (There are worse memorials to a great life than a book or a tusk.) In the end, this old man was all wore out, but during his life he was a belt level reporter, a visionary and a man who always lived at risk. Hugh Foster spent hundreds of hours of research and hundreds more interviewing Ruark's friends in order to compile this informative, insightful, and exciting biography of a man and a continent both scrambling for existence.

The McCallums have been a thread through the professional safari hunting in Africa for almost 75 years. Alec is a PH who has held licenses in Kenya, Tanzania, Central African Republic, Sudan and Zambia. He talks about the safari men who constantly faced danger and loved it, of being governed in the early days only by a love of personal freedom and playing by rules which were never written down. No one has told this story of changing Africa quite like Alec McCallum. The 200 photos take us on a panoramic journey through the African big game hunting community that fewer and fewer individuals are able to tell. Book as new but no jacket.

Foreword by Luis Pedro de sa e Mello and a story on Cape Buffalo hunting by Ross Seyfried. On one side is the big game hunter. On the other side is the wid game animal-blessed with sharp senses and protected by the habitat. You're inside the dense bush where visibility is limited and ability to maneuver is almost nil. The game that selects this cover is almost always the dangerous kind. So you want someone on your team with knowledge and a big rifle. Because here, whoever comes off second best pays with their life. Hugo Seia is a reasoned, highly regarded professional hunter. This, his second book, came as a result of great demand from those who read his first, Mundjamba (now almost sold out). He treats hunting the big five individually and provides a great chapter on rifle and ammunition selection. HIs stories prove the point- or illustration the exception that proves the rule. Ross says at the end of his buffalo hunt, "I was glad we succeeded. My tracker was glad the buffalo had not." You'll be glad you read In Any Kind of Cover, Hunting the Dangerous Game of Africa.

Hardcover. Condition: Fine. First - Limited to 1,000 Copies. 389 pages, 143 black and white photographic ill. 8 1/2 x 11 inch format. Mac's final book before passing away. A nearly 400-page blockbuster. Covers the antelope of Africa, and the spiral-horned antelope together with antlered game from all over the world. Although spiral horned antelope have long held a mystical attraction for the big game hunter, there are relatively few on the subject. Hunting for other African antelope have been described but never before in a way that presents them in the same challenging environment as the spiral horned game. These stories are a testimony to Mac's story telling ability, to his enthusiasm as a big game hunter and to his dedicated quest for all the African antelope. The following are some of the professionals who guided Mac on hunts described herein: Glen Cottar, Tony Seth-Smith, Karl Luthy, Derek McLeod, Durival Simoes, Norman Deane, Ian Henderson, Peter Johnstone, Gary Kelly, Rohil Nana, Gary Powell, Chappie Scott, Ron Sparrow, Claude Vasselet, Jose Ruis. As regards Antlered Game, Mac took several hundred animals representing 37 races and 19 species. Deer are one of the smartest game animals and represent a tremendous quarry - especially when a trophy specimen is sought. And it's all here in one blockbuster volume. Book fine but no jacket.

Among the cast of characters that played a part in the growth of big game hunting in Central (and East) Africa, Robert Montvoisin must be one of the stars. His involvement over an amazing sixty years (forty of them as a professional hunter) in eight countries (Central African Republic, Chad, Congo, Cameroon, Zambia, Tanzania, Kenya and Morocco) rivals the career of any African PH. His hunting dates back to the time of legendary Micheletti and Bates and continued past the closing of Kenya when he went to Tanzania and Zambia. Montvoisin hunted in Kenya with the noted Laddy Wincza, in Zambia with the popular David Ommanney and in Tanzania in the noted Selous Reserve. Elephant, lion, leopard, buffalo, bongo and Lord Derby eland - from the forest galleries to savannas, lakes and deserts - he's seen them all and taken a host of top trophies for a worldwide clientele. His career as a PH is recognized as one of the most successful in modern times. There are thirty mesmersing chapters. Book fine but no jacket.

Hardcover. Condition: New. Dust Jacket Condition: New. First Limited to 1,000 Copies. 290 pp. Over 100 ill. Foreword by Marc Pechenart. Make room on your shelf for a new classic. There are more photos of 100-lb elephant trophies in this book than in most others. This is the incredible autobiography of an intrepid hunter. The author was himself hunted during WWII and twice escaped back to his native France before heading for western Africa and then Central Africa. He was more like a John Boyes than a mere hunter. One of his favorite sayings: anything that does not deserve a .470 is not worth hunting; when in a dangerous situation make your mind up quickly and move your butt even more so. Tre-Hardy was selected as personal PH to most French Presidents that visited Central Africa during his career. It is both an excellent account of a hunting life in post WWII Colonial Africa and there are many serious jumbos hunted between the covers of this tome. It is beautifully written and well above the ordinary. It will be enjoyed by all who want to stalk an amazing assortment of huge ivory as well as getting a very interesting look at adventure from all "those British chaps." An absorbing work.
