Own a Afrikaans version
Second edition, nov 1967.
Veldwagter. By Hannes Klopper
It is about Harry Wolhuter
Was my first gripping tale about Kruger

Hey, I hope there is a new copy because I have a copy of 1948,and my copy is written on brown paper and allot of pages are fauling out or is about to.Let me know if someone finds a new copy.
Cheers

I would also love to obtain a copy new or second hand. Have been trying new and used book dealers for sometime. If anyone comes across a copy, please purchase it, I will reimburse you and pay for postage and if necessary your time.

Must be an english version as my afrikaans is dangerous

Thanks

Maybe we could go fishing sometime then you can read mine its very old and some pages falling out.

Fantastic Idea! Thanks.

I did google the book, just to see what was available out there in second hand copies. I would say that it would be worthwhile to take the book to a book binder/restorer and have it treated. A second hand copy will set you back about R750.

My "Memories Of A Game Ranger" dated 1948 even has a Skukuza library stamp (I bought it from a reputeable 2nd hand book dealer in JHB !) and is in pretty good condition , also have "Jock Of The Bushveld of same year .

Found this on the net. A few books around. Hope the company is still active.

Sure Ndloti

me thinks your blibrary card has benn cancelled after this little stunt

Honestly , in fact got it as a gift from my sister , receipt and all !!
I hope I am not inadvetently in possesion of a stolen book !
I would never steal such a gem , especially not from Sanparks or its predecessor , The National Parks Board Of Trustees !
Skukuza library is a reference library , one day when I am brave enough to overnight there I would like to spend a day or 4 perusing the priceless documents from yesteryear ...

Was just messing with you Ndloti

Must be worth a pretty penny though

I thought so , J !

I have two copies of 'Memories of a Game Ranger' - First edition 1948 that were given to me by my late father and grandmother. The one is in good condition and the other needs a little repairing. Does anyone know of a place in the JHB/PTA area that restores books?

There is a book binder of sorts at Fourways Crossing. I'll have a look and see what they offer.

MM - Many thanks. That would be great.

Fourways Crossing is on my normal day today route. Much appreciated.
