PSmithJust got my copy as well. Bought it just for the H. Selby signature and the new forward and I am looking forward to reading it. I have read the Ruark book a couple of times.
Mr. Selby's articles in Sports Afield are great and I would think if he wrote a book it would sell very well. I'm sure if Safari Press had a 1,000 book signed edition it would sell out in a couple of weeks just to us AR guys.

adamhunterI sent my copy of HOTH to Botswana and Mr. Selby kindly singed it along with a nice inscription and included a short note. It is my most prized book.
30+ years experience tells me that perfection hit at .264. Others are adequate but anything before or after is wishful thinking.

lavacaAssume this is "Horn of the Hunter" and where, may I ask, could one acquire such a prize?

lavacaThanks, Baxter. My wife gave me a book from Safari Press for Christmas that just got exchanged.

lavacaMine now sits on my table, next to my leather chair, between by Cape Buffalo bookends, next to such classics as a couple of early edition Hunter's, "The Hunting Imperative", "West with the Night", "Ndlovu", "Nyati", Boddington's Buffalo, Leopard and Elephant, etc.
A fine addition and money well-spent.
