Description: The Fisherman was Zane Grey’s fabled fishing boat. In this 1930 book, Romer Grey, Zane’s son, tells the story of his trip with his famous father to fish and explore the waters of New Zealand—the place Zane described as “the angler’s Eldorado.” Besides an opportunity to see the master angler in action through another’s eyes, the book also depicts some of the best sport fishing to be found in the world.

These handsome editions of classic fishing books are printed on cream stock with generous margins and gilt-edged pages, marbled endpapers, and are bound in embossed leather covers with gold stamping.
