I got his book "Trophy Hunter in Africa" from Canada. As soon as it arrived my wife snapped it for a birthday present (she held it for about a week). On the day, yesterday, I was presented with it in its orinigal packaging from Canada but gift wrapped. Can you imaging my delight when I unwrapped it to reveal a (looked like) new 1994 2nd edition volume. It now sits by a much thumbed "Trophy Hunter in Asia" by Winchester Press (I bought in the mid 70s when I ran a gunshop in Brisbane) on my bedside table. My Elgin Gates big game hunting library is now complete.

Although he hunted extensively in north and south America he has never written a book about these hunts, though he might have written some magazine articles while he was writing for Gun World and as Big Game Editor for Guns & Ammo during the 70s. So I am very interested in anyone who might have some of these articles.

Sadly, he died in 1988 at the young age of 66 from a massive heart attack. He is a giant in the big game hunting world, during a period of hunting, particularly in Africa, that can never be seen again.
