GRINNELL, GEORGE BIRD; ROOSEVELT, KERMIT; et al. Hunting Trails on Three Continents. A Book of the Boone and Crockett Club. New York: Windward House, 1933. First trade edition (published simultaneously with Derrydale). Publisher's red pictorial cloth gilt, in dust jacket. 8 1/8 x 5 1/4 inches; xi, 302 pp.; frontispiece and plates after photographs, half-title. Some dampstaining to lower margin of jacket also affecting cloth and final ~40 pp., corners lightly bumped. "In the great tradition of the Boone and Crockett Club, this, their seventh book, has essays written by Kermit Roosevelt, Grinnell, Madison Grant, Frederick Burnham, and others. Published simultaneously by Windward House and Derrydale, Hunting Trails on Three Continents remains a most elusive sporting book to obtain in either edition. The Derrydale edition was produced in an edition limited to 250 numbered copies; the Windward House edition probably was printed in considerably greater quantity, but with an unspecified limitation. It remains highly prized by book collectors and Boone and Crockett Club members alike, and in either edition can be regarded as one of the crowns of any sporting book collection" (Biscotti). Biscotti, p. 143; Czech, Africa, p. 68. C Estate of Arnold 'Jake' Johnson
