Hi Mark:

 

Your father is listed in my copy of B&C's 20th Big Game Awards as taking the No. 5 non-typical Coues deer in Cochise County in 1986. Its score was 131 3/8. PM me if you want the book. I can meet you with it somewhere here in Tucson or I can mail it.

Hey Bill,

 

I see you get an itch to sell some of your books every once in a while. It seems like you mostly have big game books, but if you have any upland stuff especially Gene Hill that you could part with drop a line ;)

All three books listed in this thread have sold.

 

TG:

 

I have close to 2,000 books that I collected over the past fifty years. I don't want my heirs to sell everything to the first dealer who offers them a tenth of what they're worth so I'm selling them a few at a time.

 

Most are on international big game hunting, including a lot of collectable African hunting books. I also have a few gun books and some natural history stuff. I don't have that many books on waterfowl and upland or small game, but I do have a few, including three unread Gene Hill books, two of them still in shrink wrap.

 

The Hill books are at our cabin. PM me after about May 1 for them.

PM me and I'll give you my email address if you don't have it. Don't know why, but I couldn't send you a PM. Never had that problem before. No matter. Emailing is faster and easier than going through this site, especially with my dialup modem down here. Are there any particular titles you're looking for?
