        As far as I know, they are out of print in the West. Corbett's
books were published by Oxford Univ. Press (if I remember correctly),
but they were not available in the UK. I got all of them from India,
where they are very easy to get, especially in New Delhi. Do not
forget to acquire "the man eating leopard of Rudraprayag"-- one
of Corbett's best!
        On the subject of Man Eaters, books by Kenneth Anderson
(also set in roughly the same period) are also very good. He used to
hunt in the South. I believe, Rupa Paper Backs of India have published all
Corbett an Anderson books.
