I haven't read them but I just got in my Derrydale Limited Editions of "De Shootinest Gent'man And Other Tales", " Mark Right! Tales of Shooting & Fishing", "Ole Miss'" and "Blood Lines. Tales of Shooting & Fishing".
The later Putnam's and Derrydale editions are a LOT cheaper.
There are seven books in the Delta Arms set of Derrydale reprints. Some are better than others, but they are all worth a read. Also "Mr. Buck" is an autobiography, which fills in some gaps and was written late in Buckingham's life. I do not know what the Delta set sells for now, but it can usually be found on Abe and Ebay.

His books are awesome also get the book called The problem with Birddogs it's awesome about English setters .I read so much about English setters I went and Bought two of them .I have had them for two decades now .
Go to Addallbooks.com, they have an out of print and ?? section. Go there and on the on line request sheet, put the author's name, then next line down and the name of the book. Lots of times there will be dozens listed cheaper than Amazon and such

I have a copy of "De shootinest Gent'man" as well. Good reading + there have been several of his stories reprinted over the years in Sporting Classics mag.
there is a city park in Memphis with his name. it is in very bad condition and needs cleaning up. his bo-woop shotgun has been found and is now on display at DU.
