I'm looking forward to reading John Dawkin's book, a copy of which I have managed to track down.

John Dawkin's book is excellent and interesting as he was an Aussie "ivory hunter".

He lived in the SE of South Australia and sadly died only a few years ago.

I managed to get a copy of his book only after his death, and found out from other hunters that he was a very approachable and friendly guy, so missed out on chatting with him.

He was a friend of John Taylor, whom reportedly wrote one of his African books while staying at JD's property.

A good read. Since then I have managed to get a first edition of his book, which is out of print, and can sometime be hard to obtain at a reasonable price. It would be great if permission from the copyright holder could be obtained to put up the book as an online book here on NE.

Some of the books, such as WDM Bell's "Wandering .." books are now also available as audio books which makes a pleasant way to enjoy them when driving, working or whatever.
