Not sure if this is the appropriate forum but on my recent visit with Roger Mowbray of Northernshooters in Australia I noted this signed (!) copy of Selous’ “Travel and Adventure in SE Africa” and I just couldn’t leave it there so…

Great find. I wonder if there is a more common modern edition. I’d like to read it.

I knew it was cool as soon as I spotted it, then I saw the signature. Close inspection revealed it was a proper signature not a facsimile. it’s in very good condition considering its age. I’ve been reading it at nights before bed. I had no idea the potential value but here we are.

Thank you for the LIKE on my old post. It brought back memories as I lost her a year and a half ago, at 18+ years.
