The Pleasures of Angling with Rod and Reel for Trout and Salmon – George Dawson – 1876. A classic fishing first edition. In fact, considered the first book dedicated to fly fishing in America. Red cloth boards with gilt illustration of trout and canoe, gilt lettering, and black frame, with gilt lettering also at spine. Some light shelf wear, mostly along spine. Paper partially cracked at both hinges internally. A couple flaws to EPs, including former owner signature in marker. A handsome copy in VG condition. The book is exactly as pictured. Any questions, please ask.
