Poverty-stricken resource-rich Africa

october 6, 2020 by rowlandward

Has Africa’s 11th hour escape from poverty arrived?

Highest price ever paid for a book on big-game hunting?

august 6, 2020 by rowlandward

Antiquarian books have always been popular with collectors, and with the advent of the Internet there are now more people than ever before collecting valuable printed books.  Within the field of antiquarian books, there is a vibrant niche of collectible books on exploration and hunting, and these have been reaching astonishing prices in the last two decades.  Want a signed copy of a book by Henry Stanley or David Livingstone?  Better be prepared to fork over upward of $10,000.  Until recently, however, collectible books on big-game hunting had not reached the astonishing levels of some ultradesirable books such as hand-colored bird books and rare early works in Latin.  That all changed when Sotheby’s of London sold a Rowland Ward Ltd. publication for an eye-popping price of…
