Description:
Newark DE: Privately Printed, 1950. First edition, No. 153 of 200 copies, this one of about 80 copies hand bound by the author. Illustrated. 235 pp. 1 vols. 8vo. Original three quarter black morocco, blue cloth sides, gilt spine title and sporting devices. Light binding wear, internally fine. Custom dark blue morocco backed folding box. First edition, No. 153 of 200 copies, this one of about 80 copies hand bound by the author. Illustrated. 235 pp. 1 vols. 8vo. An interesting copy of this rare and epochal book, signed and numbered 153 by the author/binder, although Bruns states Wetzel bound only "some 80 copies"-- thus raising the possibility that he numbered the edition but did not bind it in strict chronological order. Inscribed on the front free endpaper, "For Fred Pardee / with the best wishes of the author / "Skipper" Wetzel / 2-6-52". THE MOST IMPORTANT BIBLIOGRAPHY OF AMERICAN ANGLING, AND A MUST FOR ANY ANGLING COLLECTION. Bruns W-73
