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. :E Shocked::E Shocked::E Shocked:
 
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.
 
I have 2 available. One special edition /500 and one first edition /250. Both signed by the author.

I search hard to find books on bookfinder.com. There is only the one there from Amazon, price dropped to $4870
 
I have 2 available. One special edition /500 and one first edition /250. Both signed by the author.
Post up a picture of the books WITH your user name and the date written down on a piece of paper.
 
Thanks! It helps with the queasiness of new members selling things. Get lots of scammers these days.
 
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
 
Where are you located sellers…city and state?
