I'm a Safari Press fan and you can check out thier website at www.safaripress.com for more good reads.

BwanaDave has some very good ones on his list.....some of my top picks for sure. I also like:

Great Rams - Robert Anderson

I would second the maneaters of Tsavo good call bwanadave !!! I lived in Kenya for four years and I have read that book and seend the movie it is still the talk around Tsavo gamepark !!!! asante bwana for the stroll on memory lane !!!!!!!
 
Nothing like a good read on a cold winter night with a glass of single malt for company.
Just thought Id mention that wanderings of an elephant hunter has been reprinted and is available on line at chapters for around 43.00 if anyone was interested.
Cheers guys

My reads of late have been Africanized in anticipation of a trip to Tanzania in July. I recommend -

The Perfect Shot by Kevin Robertson
Death and Double Rifles by Mark Sullivan

I am also a Jeff Cooper fan -
To Ride, Shoot Straight and Speak the Truth
Fireworks
Art of the rifle
Another Country

Nostalgia -
Six Guns by Elmer Keith
 
Hard to add to the growing list but I would like to add:

Frederick Courteney Selous - A Hunter's Wanderings in Africa

Until I can get there I will just keep reading.
 
Don't miss Something of Value and Uhuru by Ruark.

You might also cruise the gunshow used racks. I got a nice copy of Hunting North American Big Game by O'Connor and The Accurate Rifle by Page. Both excellent reads. The Accurate rifle is very technical and, though about 50 years old, a great deal of it is still very current and all interesting.
 
I actually have to credit Ruark with getting me hooked on outdoor books.

I was given a copy of "The Old Man and the Boy" for a birthday gift years ago, and I was hooked. Now I have enough reading to get me through many a cold winters day relaxing by the fire.

I agree gunshows are a great place for sourcing out old books, good deals some times.
