The book of antelopes, vol. 1 (of 4)
Philip Lutley Sclater and Oldfield Thomas
From the swift hartebeests of Africa's plains, this grand survey of the world's antelopes begins. Philip Sclater describes each species with scientific care and a plate to match, opening with the bubal and its hard-running kin. The first of four sumptuous volumes on some of the most graceful animals alive. Set out across the grasslands after the antelope tribe.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
