About This Item
Stone Harbor, NJ: Meadow Run Press, 1996. First printing. Hardcover. Fine/fine. 8vo, 133 pages, green cloth with illustrated label on top cover, visible through the cut-out of the publisher's slipcase (fine), with publisher's mylar dust jacket.
This printing of 1500 copies preceded the Deluxe edition. This copy is signed by McGuane on the title-page. These collected pieces have been revised from their prior periodical appearances. One chapter explains the enduring appeal of Izaak Walton's THE COMPLEAT ANGLER. "Today's faithless reader is somewhat baffled by the long life of this unreliable fishing manual until he realizes that The Compeat Angler is not about how to fish but about how to be." Illustrated by John Swan.

About Thomas J. Joyce And Company
Joyce And Company has been in business as a professional rare bookseller and appraiser since 1975. Owner Thomas Joyce was the regular book appraiser on Home & Garden TV\'s \"The Appraisal Fair\\\" program, on international broadcasts. Thomas Joyce was the co-discoverer of George Washington's personal copy of William Leybourn's 1679 edition of THE COMPLEAT SURVEYOR, from which young Washington learned some of his surveying skills at age 16. The book had vanished for nearly a century until its re-discovery in 2017. It is now back at Mt. Vernon.
