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 Jay,

Hope you're well.

I'm headed your way in January.

Attending SHOT Show has been a long time bucket list item for me.

Finally made it happen and I'm headed to Vegas.

I know you're some distance from Vegas - but would be keen to catch up if it works out.

Have a good one.

Mark
