Mills,

There are a lot of great African hunting books out there. TR's is just an unbelievable safari and maybe one of a kind.

I've bought from Gunnerman for years, and I have all of Harry's books as well, including a bootleg copy of "Starlight...", the how and where of which I won't go into...

I recently picked up a copy of "Pot Luck' by Roland Clark at a junk shop. Havent really looked at it yet, and cant remember when it was printed. Just a spur of the moment buy, nice pencil drawings, didnt pay much for it.

Pot Luck was first published in 1945, did yours come in the slip case?

Might just have become dilapidated, like mine, and has been discarded.

The book is in good shape and apparently was from the first printing in Jan 1945 of which 5000 were printed--so it says, inside the book.
