...from Safari Press (on sale for $70.00). The set includes his five books "Man-Eaters of Kumaon", "Leopard of Rudraprayag", "My India", Jungle Lore" and "Temple Tiger & Treetops". A must read for anyone who has an interest in hunting big cats. More photos would have been nice but he had other things to be concerned with. Also, being a rifle nut myself, I wish he would have had more comments on his rifles and calibers. Nevertheless, a great set of books.

Yes I bought it too. I had a couple of the books already but getting the set actually ended up a little cheaper.

Great reading!

I put my collection together years before they did this set via individual copies.

The last one to complete the collection - Treetops - I found in a box of books in a Zimbabwe school sale.

I've read them all many times and will continue to do so.

Corbett's "woodsmanship/woodscraft" was great.
