Dannny-ga,

Are you willing to accept sldreamer's information on where to purchase
volume 2 as the answer to your question?

- Hammer

Hi dannny,

I noticed the $2 question that you posted today.  I would like to let
you know that you will be charged $2 only if that question is
answered.  Rest assured that I will only answer this question and not
both of your questions.  However, you may want to cancel the $2
question to ensure that no one else answers it.  Also, the Google
Answers service allows you to post clarifications and comments on
questions, so you do not need to post a new question when dealing with
another question.


I was able to locate a copy of "Trophy Rooms Around the World Volume
2" by Sherman Hines.  Unfortunately, I and several other Researchers
were unable to locate a copy of Volume 1.  It appears that Volume 1 is
currently not available on the Internet.

The copy of Volume 2 that I have located is available from an
Amazon.com Marketplace seller:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/stores/offering/list/-/0929116216

The book is in "like new" condition and is being sold for $65.  Here
is a description of the book from the seller:

"This book is in excellent condition and has spent the majority of the
time on the library shelf in my office. There is slight rubbing on the
gloss of the jacket but aside from that it is perfect."

You can buy the book by clicking on the 'Add to Cart' button to the
right of the description.  On the next screen, click on the 'Proceed
to Checkout' button on the right-hand side.


More information about the book (including two customer reviews) can
be found on Amazon.com's product information page:
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0929116216/qid=1051922838?v=glance&s=books&n=507846

According to that page, the book is 212 pages long and was published
by Hines Proguide in November 1996.  The page also provides the
following book description:

"Large format 9 x 12 inches. 212 pages. Over 150 color photos of 35
trophy rooms, selected for their international flair, varied design
and quality of trophy collection. In addition the articles featured
herein cover appraisal and insurance, ideas for new construction or
using old/historic rooms to house one's collection, and thoughts on
reading and collecting big game hunting books. Want to add a new
dimension to your collection: a well known connoisseur has contributed
an article about wine collections and wine cellars. In fact authors of
all the articles are acknowledged experts in their fields."


If you have any questions about this answer, please request a
clarification.

Hi dannny,

A fellow Researcher, pinkfreud, has informed me of another seller of
Volume 2.  You can buy a new copy of Volume 2 for $100 from Trophy
Room Books:
https://s17.2coolweb.com/trophyroombooks/otherpubs/trophyrooms02.htm

You can also see a picture of the book's cover on that page, as well
as the following description:

"Thirty-one trophy rooms. Informative articles including appraisals
and insurance, wines for game and reading and collecting big game
hunting books as well as more relevant all color advertising. This
series continues to be the most looked at, read, and used book in your
trophy room."

I will let you know if Volume 1 becomes available.

Hi dannny,

You are looking for the "Trophy Rooms Around the World" books by
Sherman Hines.  I found someone who is selling a copy of Volume 2 (in
"excellent condition") for $65.  But I have not been able to find a
copy of Volume 1.  Perhaps another Researcher will have better luck.

Regards,
sldreamer

Danny,

GOOD LUCK!!!  I've been looking for years and finally secured a copy
of Volume #1 (today believe it or not)...but I paid dearly.  That's
okay since I now have all of the Volumes #1-8.  (Yea Me!)  Believe it
or not I secured mine through Sherman Hines' office directly...talk to
Patricia (Pat) and tell her that "Rich S." told you to call her.  When
I last talked to her she had one (1) left.

You will pay BIG BUCKS though.  Think about it.  Most of the people
buying these are 'ba-zillionaire' big game hunters and half of them
have photos of their personal trophy rooms in the books.  To them
money is nothing so they're never going to sell their copy to make a
couple of bucks off of it.  Hell, some of these guys have over a
million dollars in their trophy rooms and hunt costs.

I take it that you are a big game hunter.  I am, but nothing like what
are in the books.  It's now a very rich man's sport. :(

I still like to dream though.

Take care and good luck on your quest.  Mine took about 6 or 7 years
to find.
