Additional information
by William T. Hornaday (Author)
This vintage volume contains a complete handbook on taxidermy and zoological collecting, with information that will appeal to the amateur taxidermist, collector, osteologist, sportsman, and traveller. With helpful illustrations and a wealth of useful information, this volume is highly recommended for the novice taxidermist, and would make for a worthy addition to collections of related literature. Contents include: "The Worker and the Work to be Done", "Outfits, and Hints on Hunting", "How to Select and Study Fresh Specimens", "Treatment of the Skins of Small Mammals", "Collecting and Preserving the Skins of Large Mammals", Collecting Reptiles", etc. Many vintage books like this are becoming increasingly hard-to-come-by and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality addition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on taxidermy.
