Description

I typically do not include “fishing books” in my collection, but the exception proves every rule.  This book contains the first substantial account of the Michigan Grayling, a fish that I collect with great interest. Although first “discovered” in the 1860s, the fish was functionally extinct through anthropogenic impacts by the early 1900s. Because of the significance of this title, I have treated it to a fine fish skin binding by Winnipeg binder, Debra Frances.
