About this title

Synopsis

This beautiful book is crafted with the kind of attentive patience and workmanship that appeals to the fishermen in us. The fine writing includes stories by Thomas McGuane and pulitzer prize-winner E. Annie Proulx. And the book itself is a work of art: letterpress edition, set by hand in metal type, printed on 80 lb. Cream White Mohawk Vellum, and bound sturdily one precious book at a time. Fewer than half of the numbered edition of 150 copies remain. Signed by 10 of the 11 authors included. Introduction by the editor, Tom Tolnay.

Review

This is one of only two books I would pack if I were leaving on a fishing trip tomorrow... --Town & Country

A superb anthology...flyfishing is well-suited to letterpress printing, as both are innocent pursuits in these rough-and-tumble times... --Sierra Magazine
