Want to buy book..."Duikers of Africa - Masters of the African Forest Floor"

[Green Chile]

I know how hard this book is to find and sadly owned one years ago and let it go! It's not seen for sale often but thought I would give it a shot here. Author is Vivian J. Wilson.

Amazon has one for only $4995.00.

Yea...there is usually one or two around for the price of a used car. Crazy.

For reference, I sent a note to Trophy Room Books (one of my go to's for quality books) and they reminded me there are only 2 editions...first printing and the reprint. Each is very large in size and weight and don't necessarily hold up to a lot of reading. Also, they don't see them very often. Thus the post here just to see what is possible. If someone here reaches out by saying they have a copy available for thousands of dollars...well, that doesn't interest me. Also, I'm not interested in hearing from brand new members that just so happen to have a copy available for thousands of dollars. Maybe there is one from a respected member here but we shall see. Part of my reason for posting is just to show how little is written/researched about the duikers. They are not well understood or researched versus most African game species.

Thanks! It helps with the queasiness of new members selling things. Get lots of scammers these days.

 

[Backwardskcurve]

No problem. I searched and saw people were talking about it so I made an account

A very cool offer-I wish I was in the market but confident these are beyond my reach. Thanks for posting them, I hope the OP can make a square deal with the seller
