1867 London, 1st edn, 596pp, illus. Baker explored the Nile in 1861-1864. He first traveled to Gondokoro (Juba) where he encountered Speke who was returning from Lake Victoria. He explored Lake Albert and discovered Murchison Falls. Much on elephant, lion, buffalo, hippo and others. Lengthy account of shooting various monsters-crocodiles, bull buffaloes, and antelopes. This book is a superb addition to any African collection. Possibly the hardest to get Baker hunting book, rarely for sale in this, the 1867, first edn. This UK edition, which is the nicest of all early editions, was published one year before the US edition. Very good with a neatly rebacked spine. Two former owner's book plates. This is the first time that we have offered a first edition in 10-15 years.

Store Description

World Wide Hunting Books, from the Publisher of Sports Afield magazine, sells fine antiquarian big-game hunting and exploration & hunting books on Asia, North America, Europe and Africa. World Wide Hunting Books? stock is mainly antiquarian first editions that are in above-average condition; we have the collector in mind when we buy our books. If you are looking for a rare first edition on elephant hunting or a book on an expedition after wild sheep in Asia that took place over a century ago, you will likely find it in our extensive stock. We have books on tiger, bear, wild sheep, elk, ibex, buffalo, rhino, elephant, and lion hunting. We also have early exploration and hunting accounts from North America, Asia, and Africa. If it is a book on big-game hunting and if it is out of print, it is likely we have handled the book in our thirty-five-plus years of being in this field. We maintain a detailed, proprietary database with seven thousand-plus entries with bibliographical notes that helps us keep track of the thousands of hunting books ever printed. We work with small collectors as well as huge university libraries. We are proud to have helped some of our customers create collections that contain more than one thousand books, but we are equally happy to provide you with that one special book you have always longed for or want to present as a gift.
