From the Country Life Library of Sport series. "Only volume 2 of this work concerns hunting in Africa, with H.A. Bryden contributing nine chapters on big game. There are sections on big cats, the pachyderms, buffalo and plains game. The information is rather general in terms of game description, habitat and hunting methods, but the photos are good" (Czech).
