Great Hunters: Their Trophy Rooms & Collections Vol. 1
Edited
This is the most incredible and well-researched book ever produced on
trophy hunters and their collections. World-famous hunters from this century
share some of the most dazzling rooms ever photographed. Included are
Barnhart’s "whitetail wall," Golabchi’s "sheep
mountain," and life-size mounts of rhino, giraffe, and elephant—there's
even a great white shark! Since trophy rooms have curiously short lives
(the collections are usually sold, donated, or accidentally destroyed
when the owner dies), these beautifully detailed photographs and highly
original text are not just rich in aesthetic value, but are also an important
historical record of the world’s greatest trophy rooms, many of which
will no longer exist twenty years from now. A must-have for any hunter’s
collection. Outstanding color photographs. Coffee-table size. 172 pgs.

Great Hunters: Their Trophy Rooms & Collections Vol. 2
Edited
This is the second volume in what is universally hailed as the best photographic
collection on the world’s top hunters and their trophy rooms. See
Renato Luca's incredible castle in northern Italy with most of the game
animals of the world life-size, as well as thousands of mounted birds;
see the famous Kenneth Whitehead deer museum that is the only place in
the world housing every single deer species under one roof, including
a whole skeleton of a giant elk with antlers having an eleven-foot spread!
Also included are photos of life-size argali sheep, the world-famous red
stag collection of Hugo Vitullo, Bruno Scherrer's life-size giraffe, and
several trophy rooms from the palaces of India's most famous hunting maharajas.
Some of the most exquisitely detailed and designed rooms have been photographed,
as well as many interesting artifacts that rival some trophy collections!
The informative text, written for the most part by the hunters themselves,
has been combined with these amazing photos to make this an outstanding
photographic essay on the world’s top hunters. Volume 2 features
the trophy rooms of such top hunters as O’Connor, Klein, Pocius,
Thummler, Gates, and Yuren, to name a few. A must-have companion to Great
Hunters Vol. 1. Outstanding color photographs. Coffee-table size. 244
pgs.

Great Hunters: Their Trophy Rooms & Collections Vol. 3
Edited
This is the best photographic series ever published of trophy-room collections,
and, incredible as it may sound, this book tops both previous volumes.
Besides some of the greatest North American trophy rooms ever seen, extra
effort was made to include some stunning European collections. Believe
it or not, volume 3 includes the big-game collection at Sandringham Castle,
the home of Queen Elizabeth II! Also included are the complete Don Cox
African and Asian collection as displayed at his alma mater, and the trophy
collections of Prince d'Arenberg, Uberto d'Entreves, George and Edward
Keller, Paul Roberts, Joe Bishop, Enrique Zamacola, and James Clark, to
name but a few. Whether it be castles, palaces, mansions, or museums,
the finest of the finest in trophy-room designs and collections—unequaled
anywhere—will be found in this book. As before, each trophy room
is accompanied by an informative text explaining the collection and giving
you insights into the hunters who went to such great efforts to create
their trophy rooms. All professionally photographed in the highest quality
possible. Coffee-table size. 204 pgs.

Great Hunters: Their Trophy Rooms & Collections Vol. 4
Edited
The fourth volume in this series has yet more of the world’s most
fantastic collections. Experience the fabulous trophy room of the late
Valentin de Madariaga, the person who shot more varieties of animals than
any other individual. A cadre of internationally well-known trophy hunters,
including Richard Childress, Gary Hansen, Peter Flack, Lee Lipscomb, Lou
Misterly, Jr., Phyllis Tucker, and Peter Zobel has submitted their rooms
for the Great Hunters series of books. Only top-notch trophy rooms are
included: Garages with a springbuck and a deer need not apply! Recent
Weatherby Award winners and Rex Baker had their all-new palatial rooms
photographed especially for this book, and both have created entire mountains
covered with dozens of sheep. We also have included several rooms of historical
importance such as early Weatherby Award winner Julio Estrada. These spectacular
trophy rooms were carefully selected for their superb collections and
artful decor. No other series of books lays out such a fantastic parade
of trophy rooms as does the Great Hunters series. Outstanding color photographs.
Coffee-table size. 220 pgs.

Great Hunters: Their Trophy Rooms & Collections Vol. 5
Edited
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. Outstanding color photographs. Coffee-table size. 202
pgs.
