Art Anatomy of Animals
Ernest Seton

At first we were hesitant to include this book since much of its content is covered in an "Atlas of Animal Anatomy." What caught our attention was a chapter on average measurements in species of cats, bears, dogs, and the American bison. Also the anatomy plates and drawings on the final 50 pages is worth the price. The plates include the wolf, bison, African lion, horse, and several pages of animals in motion. Overall, it rated a place in our book section and will be a valuable addition to your bookshelf.

GREAT HUNTERS: Their Trophy Rooms & Collections
Volume 5

At last, the long-awaited fifth volume is finally available! As we have stated before, Safari Press undertakes to produce a book on trophy rooms only when we can find enough rooms for inclusion that satisfy our high standards. The rooms we include in our series of books simply must be of the very highest caliber. Besides some of the greatest North American trophy rooms ever seen, extra effort was made to include some stunning European, South American, and even Russian collections. In this fifth volume we have assembled a large number of rooms that are more like natural history museums than rooms one would find in private residences. See Chester Mjolsness’s mounts of animals from every continent except Antarctica; Azam Khan’s collection of birds from around the globe; and Fidel San Roman & Anabel Moran’s trophy room with Old World charm that features full mounts of African game, including two full-size giraffe mounts and multiple lions in action poses. Oleg Andreev has a palatial log cabin that features a huge African and Asian collection; his dining room alone has dozens of elk as well as red deer. Jesse Kirk trophy rooms feature dioramas, making it seem as though you are walking into the African veldt or onto an Asian mountain. Joe Bishop’s collection, which we featured in an earlier volume, is now greatly enlarged; his stunning new rooms not only feature trophies but artifacts, guns, books, and even a skeleton of a gigantic cave bear! Space is too short to list all the rooms, but the lineup and versatility of this volume is truly world class. No other series of books focuses on quality rooms like the Great Hunter series produced by Safari Press. Our promise to our customers is that we will either publish a superb book with superlative rooms, or we will publish no book at all.

In addition, there is J. Y. Jones’s sheep mountain and full-size mounts (including a polar bear), which are highlights of his rustically inspired trophy rooms.

Still Life: Adventures in Taxidermy
by Melissa Milgrom

Even though STILL LIFE was written for the millions of readers outside of taxidermy, it definitely deserves a place on the bookshelf of every taxidermist. Much of the history of this profession is explained in great detail (many things that were totally new to us). Plus, she gave great coverage of an outsider’s insight into two World Taxidermy Championships® that she attended. One chapter follows the story of Ken Walker’s quest for a Best in World title in re-creations, and another the achievements of Paul Rhymer, John Matthews, and Ken Walker completing the new Behring Hall of Mammals displays at the Smithsonian. All 10 chapters are about taxidermy and taxidermists (and a couple in a way that you would not imagine!). We give this book a thumbs up. It’s a “must read” if you are looking for pure entertainment about taxidermy.
