I read the book more than once. A combination of good research and writing skills is quite rare. Dale Miquelle thought it was a great book. My advice is to buy it when you can. And while you're at it, try to get 'Dersu the Trapper' (Arseniev, V.K.) as well. There's a new translation (1996).    

At the moment, I'm reorganizing the information I have. Takes a lot of time, but it needs to be done every now and then. When finished, I intend to do a number of posts on Amur tigers. Original tables (skull and body measurements of wild and captive Amur tigers) will be included.

Here is the book, I'll have to go back and finish it.
