Iron/MtnAfrican Reading material
Beyond the normal Capstick,Ruark,some of Hemmingway,D.Thomas. Anything out there worth buying in hard copy?
AKA deep pockets,short hands......

Anything by Peter Peard is good -not typical africania but good. I also recommend "The biography of a continent" (can´t remember who wrote it) and Brian Herne´s White Hunter is superb.
Lot´s out there once you start looking, try amazon.com for "African hunting" or "Safari" and you´ll find some good stuff.

TerryRI like Boddington's books. For some reason he seems to be a lightning rod on this board, but he knows africa and he can write.
