CONDITION: Sans dust jacket, but a VG copy of this classic. Head of spine shows some wear and general rubbing overall, sunning, but very sound. The most authoritative work on the Atlantic Salmon in North American waters. Many leaves are uncut at the foredge, yet show very little foxing and are completely unmarked and uncreased. Pages have delightfully and evenly toned. Illustrations are lovely. Stamp on the copyright page reads "This is an unnumbered copy for review purposes only." A wonderful find and perfect gift for any fisherman.
As this book is very large (12.5" x 9.75" x 1.25") and weighs 4 lbs., additional shipping may be needed. Full refund if not satisfied. Very Good / No Jacket.
