1st Edn,. xi, 116 pages, frontis + 18 pates from photographs + 4 plate of spoor and a sketch map of Nyasaland. The last 16 pages and rear paste down are adverts many are for rifles and ammunition and related items many with illustrations. Ownership signatures to the front-end paper. Some occasional foxing mostly to the early pages. Publishers green bevelled cloth with gilt title and antelope vignette, the cloth clean with no chips or rubbing. A very good copy. "While not a book of hunting adventures, this slender work does provide plenty of information on choosing a big-game rifle as well as the varieties of game encountered in Nyasaland. Several of the plates depict the spoor of wild beasts, a theme Lyell continued in later works. As he notes: 'To spoor an animal for miles is far more interesting than killing it, for tracking game is the highest branch of good hunting.' Of additional interest are the ads at the end of the book depicting all manner of British sporting firearms, ammunition, and equipment." p173 Czech. Seller Inventory # 23901

1912 London, 1st edn, 116pp, illus. The second book written by Dennis Lyell, but probably the most scarce of all his books as it appears for sale but very rarely. Written for the sportsman who wanted to seek his luck in what was then called "Central Africa" (now known as Zimbabwe and Zambia) it is the most difficult of all of Dennis Lyell's books to find. Of additional interest are the ads at the end of the book depicting all manner of British sporting firearms, ammunition, and equipment. Fine copy in best state binding with large gilt waterbuck on front cover. green cloth with gilt waterbuck on cover. Seller Inventory # 001732
