Yes, they broke the mold when John Taylor came into being. However, some of the details in his book are not always accurate, but then who cares - the reading is still great and most of the info is spot on. I have a first edition and a special bond edition as well. I also highly recommend Pete Capstick's biography of Taylor "A Man Called Lion."

I’ve never read a man called lion but pondoro was good.

As you read Pondoro and African Rifles and Cartridges, keep a running list of the doubles he says he owned. For a gent who didn't have a pot to pee in, the list is quite impressive. Regardless, his books are among my treasured readings.

Man called lion is also a good reading. I have one of those bound book signed by Peter Capstick and one paper back.
