This is Volume Sixty in the Safari Press Classics in African Hunting Series. 243 pages. #332 OF A LIMITED FIRST EDITION OF ONLY 1000 COPIES SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR. IT IS BOUND IN GREEN CLOTH WITH GOLD STAMPING. IT IS HOUSED IN A STURDY BLUE CLOTH COVERED SLIPCASE. Kevin "Doctari" Robertson is one of Africa's best-known authors. His books have sold tens of thousands of copies. In this book with all original materials, Docari has produced the most comprehensive guide to shot placement for the African buffalo. He talks about his favorite calibers, what constitutes a good trophy, and when a buffalo should not be shot. He talks of hunting the cow buffalo, equally as dangerous as a bull, and he gives us his views and insights into various rifle types and bullets. Many books on African hunting profess to deal with it all, but Robertson focuses on only one subject--bufffalo. In fact, he deals with only one subspecies of the African buffalo--the Cape or southern buffalo, the largest of the subspecies and the one with the meanest and most ferocious reputation. This book has it all: the African tracker, bow hunting, caliber choices, picking the right bullet ( a very interesting subject and well covered), selecting rifle sights, trophy evaluation, anatomical features, diferences between bulls and cows in the field, distribution and natural history, hunting accessories, and more. All of it has been illustrated with some of the most magnificent Cape buffalo photographs ever seen by world-class wildlife photographer Catheine Robertson. No African hunter will want to be without this book. Out of print. Very Scarce, especially in this SIGNED LIMITED EDITION." The Book is in Fine condition with very light use. The Slipcase has a slight ding at the front edge, and a slight bulge along the top on one side. See the photographs with the listing. Signed by Author(s).
