Description
The brown calfskin cover stamped with a polychrome image of a line-caught tarpon, the spine gilt-stamped with buck heads, title, author initials and date, the inner covers similarly of lilac-gray gilt-stamped leather, binding signed on front doublure "The French Binders Garden City N.Y.", the text with eight tissue-protected black and white photographs.
First Sentence
The delights and difficulties of tarpon fishing are many; first, you must find the fish; second, you must wait for one to bite; third, you must hook him when he does bite; fourth, you must land the fish after you succeed in hooking him; fifth, act like a human being after the landing, for you will then have a brain storm which I have called "Tarpomania", causing you to believe that you have landed the greatest fish ever caught, and giving you for quite a time afterward a peculiar and wild look about your eyes; sixth, give a fair and rational account of the fight without losing your reputation as a conservative and truthful person.
