About This Item
London: H F & G Witherby, 1925. 1st Edition. Hardcover. VG. A record of travel and sport in Abyssinia, now Ethiopia. 244 pp, ill. Just about the only good book we have found on hunting the Walia ibex and with some hunting also for the elusive Mountain nyala. This is Maydon's rarest book. Good reading - an African mountain game hunting book. Original gilt cloth. Lightly bumped corners and tiny separation just starting in rear spine gutter (really small, we almost missed it).
