first edition
1976 · London
by Serjeant, R. B.
London: LUZAC, 1976. 143p. plus 18 full-page plates, mostly b&w site photography, one in color, and further illustrated with three terrific maps (endsheets & an insert) in colors showing wadi hunting areas. A nicely gotten-up book in skyblue cloth boards and dust jacket. The dj is mildly rubbed, find a rather interesting bookplate at half-title leaf, a very good clean copy. FYI, this ritual hunt, of ibex, from time immemorial has invited rain; it is governed with strict rules and protocol. (Inventory #: 237974)
