SPENCER-CHURCHILL, Edward George & RICE, John
1st Edition
Meadow Run Press
1998
9.25" x 6.25"
Introduction by Randy Wayne White with paitings by John Rice. Perhaps the grandest of the rare old tarpon books, this is the author's account of a year spent tarpon fishing at Tampico and Boca Grande in 1905. A British Army captain related to Sir Winston, Spencer-Churchill provides an acerbic, at times fussy, though very British and dryly humorous view of the sport of tarpon fishing. A thoroughly delightful book which includes a section of spectacular early photographs of tarpon.
Randy Wayne White is a former fishing guide, the author of the acclaimed Doc Ford series of mystery novels, Batfishing in the Rainforest, and is a contributing editor of Outside Magazine.
As new in slipcase Limited to 1500 copies. Green cloth-backed boards in green slipcase with paste-on cover label. Frontis and cover art by John Rice. Photo section containing 41 b&w photos of tarpon fishing. Foreword by Randy Wayne White. A reprint of the elusive 1906 first edition.
