JB,

I have both African Hunter and African Hunter II.

And I find them both worth owning. The original by Mellon is my favorite (I don't know if it's still available), but the new one is good too since it has a lot of updated info. However, I'd go for the less expensive $135 version (which I did, and it's still bloody expensive IMO!). Mine was signed by Boddington actually, since I bought it from him directly.
