New York. R. R. Bowker Company, Publishers. 1940. First Edition. Octavo (8 x 6). 158 pp. including index. Black and white plates. One of 600 copies published. With a generic inscription signed by Ernest R. Gee on the front end paper. Laid in is a typed letter signed by Mr. Gee addressed to Bernard S. Horne (Mr. Horne was the author of The Compleat Angler, 1653-1967. A New Bibliography, published in 1970). The book also has Bernard S. Horne's bookplate affixed on the front paste down. The book includes several categorizes of books on the field sports. And now to a complaint. The lists of books include mostly titles published many years ago. But Mr. Gee also listed recently published fishing titles, such as Howard Walden's Derrydale publications, Upstream and Down (1938) and Big Stony (1940). Yet he does not include Roderick Haig-Brown's two volume set, The Western Angler (1939). Shameful, especially so because Mr. Gee was so intimately involved with Derrydale. The book is bound in green cloth with gilt tiles on the spine. The book is fine as is the letter.
