Wanted African Hunting Books

[Letzhunt]

Looking to get a few African hunting books. I'll be going on Safari in May and would love to have them for the long flight. Every time I see them listed here I have been too late. So hoping someone can help me out.

I’ve gotten an absurd number of books off of eBay and it’s the first place I look.

Amazon has quite a few as well.

If you like older/historical books, DM me a good mailing address and I’ll send a book or two your way.

Where are you headed?

I have found a number of African hunting books in thrift shops

 

[freefall]

I have a paperback of Green Hills of Africa you can have if you pay postage. If I can find it in a timely fashion.

Search the titles you’d like on Amazon and look at used and other sellers. I’ve bought a lot of hunting books at $3.99 from Salvation Army and goodwill that way.

Wow ... talk about great responses. This forum is the best!
I'm heading to South Africa.
I think I'm going to go the kindle/Fire tablet route to save on space and make it easier to read on the plane. I will also check out the thrift stores and see what I find.

For new ones try Safari Press for a great selection.

Safari Press was sold and isn't operating like before.

Denkers other book is even better I think. He wrote another one that’s only in German. Wish I could find it in English

I just got a copy of that today. I have his other book as well. He's an interesting PH for sure. I think he could walk just about anyone into the ground on his hunts.

There is an online bookshop in South Africa called Halseton. I’ve just ordered 3 books from them and am having them couriered to my hosts in the Eastern Cape. He advised me Not to have them posted !
Otherwise I would advise buying Ron Thomson’s book on Kindle. Far easier having your books on a tablet than hoiking a few books around. There’s probably more good books on Kindle but Ron’s books make great reading.

Kindle is tops for price and convenience. Only drawback, for me, is quick reference if you want to look up an item. But you can carry xx number of books in one reasonable pkg.
Only books I was unable to find at the time were by John “Pondoro”Taylor and they are referenced many times by many.
Good luck and Good Hunt.
