mehulkamdar,
- Have you heard of this book?

"The Elephant Experience" by Charles Santiapillai
Oxford University Press
New Delhi 1999

I have heard it is a first rate historical account of elephant and elephant hunting.

No, Nickudu, I haven't heard oif this book at all, but, now that you've told me about it, I must buy it!

Thanks for the recommendation and Good hunting!

Please advise if you find it. I would like a copy also. Thank you.

Tried searching the Oxford Uni Press websites

at www.oup.com in the UK, India and Australia but no mention.

This is where I found it:

It looks as though the correct title may be:

"The Great Indian Elephant Book: An Anthology of Writings on Elephants in the Raj"

Friends,

OUP isn't very far from my office and if you don't find the book in your countries, I could speak to them and check if they would ship the books to you on your direct order if you like.

Please let me know.

Good hunting and thanks again for the recommendation, Nickudu.

Nickudu, NitroX,

I just spoke to the Oxford University Press people and the book is indeed in print. If you cannot order copies in your country, I can arrange to send them to you. Some bookshops in Chennai like Fountainhead also offer discounts on it. Do let me know if there is anything that I could do.

In friendship and Good Hunting!

Thank You, Mehulkamdar.
