Elmer Keith - Safari - 1968-1968

Up for sale is a rare, collector-grade first edition of "Safari" by the legendary Elmer Keith. This copy is notably signed and inscribed by Keith himself, dated December 3rd, 1969, from his home in Salmon, Idaho. Unlike many copies found on the market today, this volume includes its original dust jacket in Very Good condition (not price-clipped). ​Historical Importance Elmer Keith (1899–1984) is arguably the most influential figure in 20th-century firearms development. As the "Father of the Magnums," he was instrumental in the creation of the .357, .41, and .44 Magnum cartridges. ​"Safari" is a cornerstone of Keith’s literary legacy. Published privately in 1968, it documents his legendary 1957 expedition to Kenya and Tanzania. This book isn't just a hunting journal; it was the real-world "laboratory" where Keith tested his heavy-bullet theories and "OKH" (O'Neil-Keith-Hopkins) wildcat cartridges against the world’s most dangerous game. His findings in this book fundamentally changed how modern hunters and ballisticians view terminal performance and stopping power. ​Condition Details ​Binding: Original tan cloth with crisp gold gilt lettering on the spine and front cover. The binding is tight and square. ​Internal: Pages are clean, bright, and free of foxing or notations. ​Signature: Boldly inscribed on the front endpaper: "To [Name], Best wishes, Elmer Keith, Salmon, Idaho, Dec 3rd 1969." ​Dust Jacket: Original jacket is present and in Very Good condition. It shows only minor shelf wear and light chipping at the crown of the spine—well above the "Fair" condition typical for this title. ​Provenance: This copy features the highly desirable "Salmon, Idaho" location in the inscription, linking the book directly to Keith’s famous home base. ​Specifications ​Author: Elmer Keith ​Title: Safari ​Publisher: Safari Publications, La Jolla, CA ​Year: 1968 (True First Edition) ​Format: Hardcover with Dust Jacket ​Pagination: 166 pages with profuse B&W and color illustrations.
