I have been looking for this set of books for many years. I was lucky just before Christmas to find a bookdealer in the US who had it for a very fine price. Its difficult to price a book that hasn`t been for sale in years.

This set here is the rare Large Edtion which only 250 sets were made in 1894. The only title I was interested in. Both books are #39.

Which dealer has the books for sale?
 
Those are great looking books! I am very happy you found them!
 
What a find! Congrats!

Ken Czech's Annotated Bibliography of African Big Game Hunting Books (1785-1950) is an exceptional resource for anyone interested in collecting fine safari books.

It appears you struck the big time on African book collecting. Congratulations.

P.S It also appears you have a nice firearm collection to go along with your books.

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
