Reading the Water: Adventures in Surf Fishing from Martha’s Vineyard – Robert Post – 1988. A first edition, first printing of this beloved book for New England surf fishers. In dust jacket. Signed by the author, with inscription to ‘Archer’ on title page. Now out of print, but considered a cult classic, described by long-time sporting bookseller Ken Andersen as ‘the most requested book of all’. Recollections of longtime Vineyard fisherman and women, who provide advice, insight, and inevitable tall tales. From fifty-pound stripers and night fishing to bluefish teeth and leaky waders, these stories are both entertaining and filled with valuable information about tides, currents, moon phases, wind directions, and the best baits and lures. DJ fine, and book borderline near fine to fine due to light spots externally at long page edge. The book is exactly as pictured. Any questions, please ask.
