I love good books and I love good maps, in other words, I would love a good Atlas. Problem is, I can't seem to find one worth a darn, even the expensive ones. What is the "best" Atlas? Is there a good Atlas of Africa?

I don't have an answer to your question. But as an avid book collector I routinely come across atlases and as the price is usually low I buy them. I am always amazed and disappointed to see the disparity of coverage between the third world and the super powers.

Pretty disgusting really.

Hunting in Africa is an adventure. The number of variables involved preclude the possibility of a perfect hunt. Some problems will arise. How you decide to handle them will determine how much you enjoy your hunt.

Just tell yourself, "it's all part of the adventure." Remember, if Robert Ruark had gotten upset every time problems with Harry
Selby's flat bed truck delayed the safari, Horn of the Hunter would have read like an indictment of Selby. But Ruark rolled with the punches, poured some gin, and enjoyed the adventure.

So far my research has forced me to conclude that the "The Times" atlas is the best. The cost goes with it.

The best Atlas was my pal Charles. But he is long gone.

Personally I prefer Teddy to Charles.
