AFRICAN GAME TRAILS; An account of the African wanderings of an American Hunter-Naturalist
John Murray. 1910 London, 1st UK edition, Imperial Library, 534+8pp, photos and illustrations by Phillip Goodwin, map. This is the RARE Imperial edition with an blue cloth binding and a RARE jacket which has a piece missing from the back panel and back flap gone. Item #007848
Theodore Roosevelt's famous East African safari. No African hunting book collection is complete without it. Most book collectors would argue that the first US edition should be preferred over this, the first UK edition. Each was bound in an equally attractive--albeit different-- binding, it is ONLY this London edition that has the speeches given by Roosevelt at the University of Cairo at the end of his trip, so it is well worth getting a London edition. In addition this 1910 London edition has the same excellent photographic reproductions that only the US 1910 1st trade edition has, all other US trade editions have lesser photographic quality reproductions.
