I did a search for the book and cannot find it. Who is the publisher and the author?

"I did a search for the book and cannot find it. Who is the publisher and the author?"

Bill: It was originally published in 1996 by Mag Set Publications in Harare, which is Ant Williams, who also publishes African Hunter and African Fisherman magazines. I have No. 34 of a limited edition of 100 that Kevin Robertson or "Doktari," autographed and gave me, Bill, and I'll bring it up the cabin tomorrow so you can read it. It definitely is all that Juan Pozzi says it is. I think it also has been recently reprinted by Safari Press, but I'm not certain of that.

Bill Q

The very early Edition that Kevin wrote has been rewittn as "Africa's Most Dangerous" and is from Safari Press.

Nyathi- The Art of Hunting Buffalo is printed by African Hunter. For some obscure reason the Authors/Editors names do not appear oin the book.

If you want a copy, email fishunt@zol.co.zw or contact Rowland Ward in the USA or South Africa

I have a copy of Robertson's "Africa's Most Dangerous," and will look forward to reading the one Bill Q. has. Thanks to both of you.... Rowland Ward does offer the revised edition and I may acquire it as well......
Who was it who said, "So many books, so little cash."

I read Nyati and enjoyed it. His advice is well taken.
Written in 1996 and it speaks to the changing world and to Zimbabwe in particular. Quoting Doctari's Introduction, page XI, fourth line up from the bottom: "...Zimbabwe - a beautiful, safe and stable African country with a surprisingly well developed infrastructure."
In eleven years how this has changed....Shame.
I hope it holds together long enough for me to make a trip down.
