About this Item
Description:
1933 London, 1st edn, 260pp, illus. This book is more difficult to obtain in 1st edition than any of Walter Bell's books. This should tell you something about how good it is! A superb elephant classic that ranks as one of the 10 best titles on elephants ever. Commander Blunt was an elephant control officer in Tanzania in the 1930s. NB: This is the London edition published in the same year as the US edition. As many of the London editions were exported to East Africa, they are said to have been sprayed with insecticide, which shows on most all covers of the copies we have seen. It is rare to even find a copy in very good condition. Very good, signed and inscribed by Myles Turner, one of the most famous post WW II era East African PHs. Includes a carbon copy of a 1954 letter by the Game Warden of Arusha" (signature unreadable) about the death of a hunter by a cow elephant, horrific, very graphic account. Green cloth with elephant head on cover. Seller Inventory # 000375
