A 1991 St. Martin’s Press edition of Lion Hunting in Somaliland by Captain C.J. Melliss, issued as part of the sought-after Peter Capstick’s Library series. Originally published in 1895, this fascinating hunting memoir recounts Melliss’s experiences pursuing lion in Somaliland, together with an account of “pigsticking” the African wart-hog. Illustrated with period photographs and drawings, it remains an important and collectible title in African hunting, safari and colonial travel literature.
This copy of Lion Hunting in Somaliland is protected in a clear plastic cover over the original dust jacket and remains in very good overall condition. The book has ex-library markings from Maritzburg College Library, including stamps and accession details, but the text block and binding remain sound and attractive.
An ideal reading copy of Lion Hunting in Somaliland or affordable addition to a collection of African hunting books, Peter Capstick titles or safari literature. The 1991 St. Martin’s Press reprint contains 186 pages and was published in New York.
