(Description) One of the Limited Edition of 750 copies . Includes 30 individual prints from paintings of salmon done by the author, laid in a pocket inside the left cover. Each 16 x 12 drawing is suitable for framing if you chose to do so, but are an integral part of the book. For some reason this book was numbered but not signed. Book has edgewear only at corners and spine, slipcase rubbed and beginning to separate at corners. ***(Synopsis) It may seem ludicrous, under the circumstances, to refer to any book on salmon as a bargain, for any book on salmon is almost by definition caviar to the general and of interest and meaning only to the priveleged few. But the book in your hands, when scaled to the proportionate costs of seeking the lordly creatures it depicts anywhere outside the confines of an armchair, is a tremendous bargain. In its thirty drawings alone, it fulfills the promise of its title, Salmon of the World. To most of us this is six or seven times as many as we've ever either seen or heard about.
