Green cloth with gilt spine titles and cover decoration, 8vo, 218pp, top edge gilt, others untrimmed; title page printed in black & green; title page decoration otherwise not illustrated. An important early work on American dry fly fishing and a cornerstone title for any collection of angling books. This copy is in VG to NF condition with virtually no cover wear; bright gilt titles & decoration; corners sharp; internally clean with bright, clear pages. A much nicer copy than most encountered.

Store Description

I specialize in books and ephemera on fishing, hunting, archery and firearms. Within these topics are works on trout, salmon, bass, salt water, fly fishing, fly tying, rod building, tackle catalogs and reference titles. Hunting contains works on African, Asian and North American big game; bird shooting-both upland and waterfowl; plus sporting dogs. Only a small portion of my inventory is listed here so please ask for titles not seen. Wants lists are accepted and often I am able to locate these books for you. Also, my inventory can be viewed by appointment.
