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.

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.
