SPORT & SERVICE IN AFRICA - LT.COL. A H W HAYWOOD - RARE / SCARCE!! ('Sport' = Hunting)

FIRST EDITION - PUBLISHED BY SEELEY, SERVICE & CO. LTD, LONDON, 1926.  BLACK & WHITE ILLUSTRATIONS AND A FOLD-OUT MAP. 

285 PAGES.  ONE PAGE IS LOOSE (ONE OF THE ILLUSTRATIONS).  BOUND IN ORIGINAL ORANGE CLOTH WITH GILT TITLE ON SPINE AND GILT ILLUSTRATION ON FRONT COVER.  SPINE IS FADED AND THERE IS A SMALL (9mm) TEAR AT TOP OF SPINE .  NO DUST JACKET.  PAGES ARE LIGHTLY TANNED BUT CLEAN, AND NO FOXING. 

IT APPEARS THAT ONE OF THE BLANK PAGES INSIDE FRONT COVER HAS BEEN TORN OUT; THERE FOLLOW TWO MORE BLANK PAGES BEFORE THE TITLE PAGE AND THAT IS WHY I ASSUME IT WAS A BLANK PAGE THAT IS NOW MISSING, BUT THIS DOES NOT AFFECT THE CONTENT OF THE BOOK IN ANY WAY I.E. NO INFORMATION IS MISSING.  I HAVE PRICED THE BOOK BY TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THESE SMALL ITEMS OF DAMAGE.

THIS BOOK IS IN GOOD OVERALL CONDITION CONSIDERING ITS AGE.  IT IS HIGHLY COLLECTABLE AND QUITE RARE.  THE FEW FIRST EDITION COPIES I FOUND ON THE INTERNET ARE PRICED FROM US$88 UP TO US$225.

SUBJECT MATTER:  BIG GAME HUNTING, CAMPAIGNING, ADVENTURE IN AFRICA
