PDF scans of The Fox and the Hound by Daniel P. Mannix. These were taken directly from an original 1967 first edition copy of the book, something exceedingly rare to find nowadays thanks to Disney. Here’s a book summary: 

The Fox and the Hound is a 1967 novel written by American novelist Daniel P. Mannix and illustrated by John Schoenherr. It follows the lives of Tod, a red fox raised by a human for the first year of his life, and Copper, a half-bloodhound dog owned by a local hunter, referred to as the Master. After Tod causes the death of the man's favorite hound, man and dog relentlessly hunt the fox, against the dual backdrops of a changing human world and Tod's normal life in hunting for food, seeking a mate, and defending his territory. As preparation for writing the novel, Mannix studied foxes, both tame and wild, a wide variety of hunting techniques, and the ways hounds appear to track foxes, seeking to ensure his characters acted realistically.

If anyone wants to re-type or otherwise convert these to text or an EPUB file to make it more accessible, it would be greatly appreciated. Archiving things, especially important literature like this (which has won several awards) which has been taken out of print, is very important to the furtherance of education, and cultural and societal development. Thank you
