African Hunter

Rating:
Summary: African Hunter by James Mellon
Review: I have the First Edition and it's a great book. Factual information on the game animals of Africa and their habitat. Great photography with a bit of history thrown in. Not a thriller, but a page turner.

Rating:
Summary: Hunting the African Continent not just SA, relatively recent
Review: James Mellon has excellent photography of every animal discussed, and he usually describes what constituted a "book class" or trophy animal during the time he hunted. This book was recommended to me by the 1993 Safari Club International Professional Hunter of the Year as possibly the best photo record of trophy african animals. There are also interesting historical notes, and the book is a good, factual read, not a "Capstick Thriller".
