2008 Long Beach, 73pp, color photos, hardcover
ISBN: 978-1-57157-299-8
This special commemorative book was produced in limited quantities, primarily for guests at the fifty-first anniversary of the Weatherby Hunting and Conservation Award ceremony held 22 January 2008 at the Silver Legacy Hotel in Reno, Nevada. As such, it is both a digest and an update of two previous volumes, The Weatherby: Stories from the Premier Big-Game Hunters of the World 1956-2002 (edited by Nancy Vokins, Safari Press, 2004) and The Weatherby Hunting and Conservation Award: Celebrating 50 Years of Hunting Achievement and Wildlife Conservation, 1956-2006 (Safari Press, 2007). Please note that in highlighting the winners of the Weatherby Award, this book abridges the accounts of their accomplishments and adventures found in the volume published in 2004. We trust, however, that it retains both the broad scope and singular excitement of their truly remarkable achievements while documenting the history and significance of the Weatherby Hunting and Conservation Award (previously known as the Weatherby Big Game Trophy).
