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.…
