Zambezi Valley conservation trust launched at Ian Nayschens Memorial service today.

All rights to Ian's new book at 380 of the first 500 printed are property of the trust, and will be made available to hunters visiting Zimbabwe or South Africa.

Once the inital batch have been sold, the book will be reprinted and marketed as a fundraiser for the trust. Money will go towards (initially) lion reserch.

I will let the forum know where the books will be available from in Jo'berg and Harare.

Already got mine ordered.

Ganyana,
I ordered mine from Zimbi Books last week and it is in route to the States via airmail per e-mail advise...are the additional copies owned by the trust different in any way????

Got mine about a month ago

500 copies of the book were printed and the trust has been handed the remaining 338 copies. Obviously some have been sold and I do know Zimbi took a consignment.

The remaining books and a second print run will be managed by the trust. Ian didn't want the books on sale outside Africa until the local market had been satisfied! I am not a trustee so don't know for sure, but I gather the trust will be putting them with one shop in Jo'berg and one in Harare and otherwise taking orders - once they have all the necessary bank accounts sorted out etc. Ian left three houses and a couple of trucks, book copywrite etc to the trust. The two lawyers (one South African and one from Zim) were at the service, and gather things will be finalised before the new year.

Ganyana,
Did you get a copy for me?
