A deluxe, gift edition of captivating hunting and adventure tales from a celebrated outdoors writer, collected together for the first time. Jim Carmichel hunted around the world during his nearly forty years as shooting editor of Outdoor Life magazine. But none of his amazing adventures ever made it into book form—until now. Classic Carmichel features more than 360 pages of hunting adventures and firearms expertise by Carmichel, who is widely acknowledged as one of the foremost experts on sporting arms. Carmichel’s exploits and prowess had no equal during what is arguably the golden age of international hunting and shooting. These are not just stories by a well-traveled adventurer—they are pure literature, written with a style and elegance that deserve inclusion in any collection of great outdoors books and writers. His riveting tales include the monster “dead” crocodile that came back to life twice and almost killed him on Zimbabwe’s Zambezi River, also known as the River of Death; his harrowing three-mile high hunt in the Andes of Peru where he ended up without a rifle; the drama and intrigue of a $100,000 Russian stag hunt organized by the KGB; his Alaskan moose hunt in the middle of Typhoon Oscar; stalking deer in Arizona’s legendary strip; plus many more tales! Written with unparalleled grace and elegance, Classic Carmichel is a true testament to a hunting master.

The complete encyclopedia of classic sports cars with informative text and over 750 color photographs.

Originally published in 1935, Gold by Moonlight was not written by the well for the ill, but by one who knows the sensitive lessons that come from a walk with pain. This book is for all who are walking in the difficult places of life. It is a literary signpost pointing toward the peace and comfort that only comes from the Lord. A spiritually rich book, full of courage for anyone who suffers. “Have you ever felt overwhelmed by the adversities of life? Then this encouraging and comforting book is just for you. Written by Amy Carmichael who has known pain and suffering herself and has an amazing capacity to guide a weary soul back into God’s presence.”—Prayer Tray Illustrated throughout with beautiful photographs.

Amy Carmichael, born in 1867 in the village of Millisle, Ireland, gave herself unconditionally to Christ. She went first to Japan and following a short term in Ceylon, presently Sri Lanka, she landed in India in 1895 and remained there without a single furlough until she died in January 1951.
