About This Item
London: Robert Hale. Good with no dust jacket. (1955). Hardcover. Front free endpaper torn out. Some adhesive tape stains to endpapers. Some splitting to gutter at front hinge. Some foxing. Lacking the dust-jacket. ; UK edition. 223 pages + frontispiece + 33 illustrations on 12 plate leaves. Maroon boards with gilt lettering on spine. Page dimensions: 217 x 136mm. "World's Greatest Archer - Wild Animal Photographer". "'Wild Adventure' is unique because Howard Hill is a unique hunter. His hunting is done with the long bow, the camera, and the lasso. To do it he must move into close proximity with his quarry - in most cases a wild beast, a treacherous reptile or a man-eating fish. That is a very different thing from hunting with a high-powered rifle." .
