This is a list of books that are simply great reads. This list is based on a consensus of opinions from Diana Rupp (editor in chief of Sports Afield), Ludo Wurfbain (publisher of Safari Press), other book dealers, and hundreds of Safari Press customers who have emailed and written us over the years. Note that this is not a list favoring any publisher and (at least in the main list) we have EXCLUDED Safari Press original titles to make sure there was no bias. (We have included books SP has reprinted but hey, can you blame us for that? We try to bring the reader what we think is good.) This list is tilted toward big-game hunting simply because we read more big-game books than anything else, but we have included other subjects. This list is one of pure hunting narrative only so excluded are technical books on firearms and ballistics, books on shooting techniques, and how-to books of any kind.
