Title: The Western Angler. An Account of Pacific Salmon and Western Trout. {Two Volumes}.
Description: Lyon, Mississippi. The Derrydale Press. 1991. One of 2500 sets published. Two volumes. Quartos (10 1/2 x 8). Vol. 1: 200 pp. Vol. 2: 192 pp. including index. Foldout map of British Columbia fishing waters bound in opposite page 3 in volume one. Color frontispiece of artificial flies in both volumes. Color plates of game fish by E. B. S. Logier. Black and white photos. Text illustrations. This reprint is an affordable alternative to the sometimes pricey 1939 limited edition. Nevertheless, you’d think the publisher in Misssip would have given a moment of thought to approximating the original bindings in red cloth, no? Red leatherette, maybe? Ah, no. Both volumes bound in full black leatherette with gilt titles on the spines and front covers. Marbled end papers. All edges gilt. A nice set. In fine condition.
