[74] pp. With 9 sample plates. (Large 8vo) green cloth elaborately decorated in black and yellow blocking, lettered in gilt. Salesman's dummy copy with selections from the text, maps, illustrations and a blank list for subscribers at rear. Samples of leather and cloth spine-panels mounted to pastedowns. The publisher rivalled only Roosevelt in bluster, "This superb, large octavo volume is the most notable book of the year...It shows the author not only as a mighty hunter, but as a profound student of natural history, a close observer of both plant and animal life, and a master of graphic and picturesque narrative."
