Hi Steve,

Where can I get your book locally?

Cheers

I think you should be able to order it in local book shops but there will be a time lag before they get the ISBN number on their dayabases and I don't know how long that will be.

If you order online from lulu.com, you should have it in about 2 weeks I think.

I think less than fifty bucks to become a professional hunter is a reasonable price. Who could argue against that? Some people spend more on beer every month.

The book won't make the buyer a PH but it will put them on the road to becoming one and it'll also give them an awful lot of knowledge that would otherwise take years of experience to gain.

We've finally found time to get a sales page of our own up now where you can also read some brief review comments here: 'How To Become A Professional hunter In Africa'

Steve,

You forgot the most important chapter.

"How to handle the sudden fame and wealth that comes with being a PH."

I'm still waiting to experience those my friend....... The fame, I can live without but I'd sure like to know what it feels like to have some wealth!

I finally finished reading Steve's book, and can recommend it highly, even for those of us who have no intention of ever becoming a licensed PH.

His text is easy to read and many of his anecdotes left me grinning.

Keep writing, Steve. I, for one, would like to see a book that tells us more about the things that go on behind-the-scenes in a safari today.

Steve,
Loved the book. Great read, and most importantly an easy read. Lotsa good stuff. Well worth the money.
Only criticism would be that there are a few printing errors which should be easily rectified. (PM sent)

Jas,

Please excuse the shortness of my reply.... I'm still as sick as a dog.

Glad you liked the book and surprised about spelling errors..... it was comprehensively proof read by several people..... but please do email me details.

I wonder if you're reading my English, English spellings as mistakes in American, English, which of course, they are not?

I only have a few words to say about Steve's book IT"S GREAT even if he is a scurrilous liar!!!!!!!
I'm not a great guy or any of the other nice things he said about me

seriously it is a very informative book and his humor comes out nicely. I know several people who have read it and all have liked it. ever old guys who have been there and done that in Africa

PS if you want a signed copy send him a crayon with your request because he broke his crayon and can not find another
