Mike what year was the 2nd edition of the Catlin books done? I am looking for a pair of first edition for less than $1000 I don't know if it will happen but I'm looking.

I have about 1500 books including some pretty old and rare. I love finding complete collections of first editions. Here are the crown jewels of my collection when it comes to sets:

Here's a library edition that's pretty rough. (Library editions typically bring less than privately owned.)

Bernie is a 1880 London edition which I believe is the 2nd English edition, I am not sure, just wanted a early copy and didn't want to pay for 1st edition

Wow! Fighting jealousy here! Lol
I have Victor Hugo and sir Walter Scott from the early 1800’s.

Here is my African hunting collection so far
That J. A. Hunter on left came from Nairobi, Kenya Africa

Patrick what is the two books on end next to Pondoro Taylor’s book please?

A sad story. About 36 years ago to be exact. I went to a auction and there was African hunting books in wood sealed containers/boxes like 4 foot long by 3 foot. A few of these boxes. The auctioneer sold them by the box. I had a few hundred dollars to my name and no idea that these would be be at the auction because I could not preview as I was in the hospital the day before as my son was born. A shrewd buyer was bidding and buying for a LA book dealer. Sold anywhere from $500 to $800 per box.

Mmmhmm ! Collected trapping books for a while but only stuff that was like... landmark books I guess. Alot of them are about the same thing. Lotta reloading and shooting. Stuff now too..love the older books.

These are the books next to Pondoras.

Thanks! Don’t think I’ve read the one by Woods
