Franz Reidolf „Jahinduse käsiraamat“ (Handbook of Hunting)
2nd edition, 616 pages, hardcover.
Publisher: Vana-Kahuri OÜ
The „Jahinduse käsiraamat“ (Handbook of Hunting) by Franz Reidolf (1884-1945) has been called the hunter’s Bible. The original work, published in 1938, has become an antiquarian rarity. For decades it was the most thorough book on hunting in Estonian. The reader’s interest is captivated by the author’s thorough yet emotional descriptions of for instance black grouse and capercaillie mating displays.
The new edition of the book has been made as a copy of the original: the old language as well as layout have been preserved.
The book can be purchased at 25 Euro per copy from Eesti Jahimeeste Selts, Estonian Hunters Society, at Kuristiku 7, Tallinn, ordered by telephone at +372 5526032 or by e-mail at
