1922 London, 8th edn, 527pp, profuse illus. In 1892 R.W. started his famous series of record books containing all the game animals of the world. The British Empire was at its zenith, and hundreds of sportsmen submitted measurements of the most exotic animals. The books quickly became the "bible" for hunters. Up to the 9th edition (1928), all animals of the world were covered. After that, record keeping became too large to be manageable in one book, and it was decided to concentrate on Africa alone. The first ten editions are, therefore, the most desirable of the series, which is still going strong today. No sporting book collection is complete without one or two of these early record books, which will give the reader much reading pleasure and information. Not a great copy, with damp marks on the binding, but with a VERY GOOD JACKET.
