Add to basket1988 Lyon, MS, 220pp, photos. Limited to 500 numbered copies, signed by Peter Capstick and Wally Johnson. Wally Johnson spent half a century in Mozambique hunting white gold--ivory. Most men died at this hazardous trade. He's the last one able to tell his story: How he survived the massive bite of a Gabon viper, buffalo gorings, floods, disease, and most dangerous of all--gold fever. He bluffed down 200 armed poachers almost single-handedly, and survived rocket attacks from communist revolutionaries during Mozambique's plunge into chaos in 1975. Wally's words are testimony to an Africa that is now a distant dream. NOTE: This is the deluxe Derrydale edition of this book, bound in genuine ELEPHANT hide, gilt stamping on front and rear cover, marbled endpapers, four-color frontis, all edges gilt, housed in a custom made box with a color illustration on the cover of an elephant by Guy Coheleach. Book and presentation case fine! Signed by both Capstick and Johnson.
