The content of the book is not at issue. The printing of it is. It is one giant RUN ON SENTENCE!!! The intro by the publisher excused this by describing the automated OCR scanning used on an original copy. The entire process is automated. NO ATTEMPT WAS MADE TO CORRECT THE RESULTING ERRORS!!!!

The printed copy is a TRAVESTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This review is from: IN BRIGHTEST AFRICA Memorial Edition (Hardcover)

The book by Carl Akeley was an excellent description of his ventures in East Africa. He worked with T. Roosevelt and knew Martin and Osa Johnson (Photographers)and was probably the world's leading taxidermist of his time. A very good book.
