Nothing much but a few catches to the collection

In my interest in archery I always wanted the `Witchery of archery(1878)` but is has been difficult to find in 1st ed. Now its here..

I saw that archery book in an auction recently, brought WAY over the estimate.

Yep..

I was lucky to buy it in England. The book belonged to Robert Hardy(actor and archer). They do fetch premium. I know one in general should talk talk about prices, but I bought mine for $110 which is an ok price. On Ebay , abebooks etc they sometimes go 2-3x more(depends on condition ofcouse).

I bought the 1st edition "Bell Of Africa" a few years ago at a gun show for $120.00.

The one I saw went well over your number. Nice buy.
