Will:

You remind me of a well known Professor who came hunting with us.

On the first morning of the hunt, very early around 5 am, still dark we all gathered around the fire for some warmth in the winter chill, drinking coffee before setting out into the bush, this guy emerges from his room dressed exactly how you are and father without thinking boomed out:

"PROFESSOR ! WHERE THE FUCK DO THINK YOU ARE GOING DRESSED LIKE THAT "

Well this is my father and his gunbearer Roll Eyes

Will,

Got my copies this morning.

Thank you very much.

I am going to start reading your book as soon as I finish the current one I am reading about hunting in the Congo about 60 years ago.

At Reno, the book will also be for sale at the Trophy Room Books booth (#1353) and from me as I stroll around the convention with an arm full of books. I'll be in disguise as a fat, old man in short pants.



Well, don't he look literary in those knickerbockers, what?



I think those pants (are they "plus fours" or knickers?) look very sporty. Nice to see some tradition.

I look forward to reading your book.


Cheers!

I was expecting a broad brimmed bush hat with leopard skin band with sleeveless shirt and a mean and nasty but yet determined expression!

The delusions have been shattered (well only some of mine).

First time I have seen your book thread. I will be ordering some from you too. Suitably autographed with insightful comments I hope!

Will drop into the PO tommorrow.

Will- I have received your book. Thank you very much. I have only read the first chapter so far-very enlightening. Was particularly impressed with the explanation of the Penetration Index and how well the .416 performs.

Thanks again Will. Very informative and fun to read. I recommend it to everyone!!

PS. How long has John Taylor been your father? Wink

Thanks Retreever and everyone else on the kind comments on the book.

Anyone that wants to try to find me at Reno, staying at the Atlantis, but can't and would like a book they will be available at the Trophy Room Books booth, No. 1353.

Thanks again.

Bill

Sorry, but I will not be making it to Dallas. I can still sign books if you send a check my way! Wink

Thanks for your interest.

P.S. I think I had a pair of lace-up chaps made by a shop in Cave Creek, but I forget the maker. Small world, eh?

Will,Bill?
I ordered thru the nice helpfull guy at the gunshop. He may have had a bit of trouble with my accent/mumble, but that's what happens when I have to get up in the middle of the morning re timezone differences.
And if you write something in the front, try to mention my .458WM Smiler

I'll get a check in the mail to you today, and i would like a signed copy.

Cave Creek is a great little town, I just moved there and really like it. It has lots of character and great places to ride my Harley.

I am getting a small stock of Will's book to be sent Down-Under.

Any Aussies who want one, you will be able to pay in A$ and somewhat cheaper shipping from the USA (ie a bulk order).

Looking forward to the Professor Elephant Hunter's book!

Quite a fine job Bill Stewart, from cover to cover. A one-sitting read for me is indeed a rarity. With so many bits of well phrased and poignant commentary, I gave up on noting them for this review! Smiler A result to be proud of, my friend. My heartfelt congratulations. - Nick

Will,

I received the book on Thursday then left for DSC Friday morning. I read the book while waiting in the airport and on my flights. I really enjoyed it, especially the elephant chapters, it answered a lot of questions I had about elephant hunting.

Congratulations on a great book!

Will- I too finished the book while commuting to Dallas. I really enjoyed it. The elephant skull pics were very helpful for locating the brain.

Thanks for sharing your experiences!!

That would be me. I have a note at my desk to mail you a check, but I am awful lazy. I will try to get it out tomorrow.
