First edition (so stated; "B-M"). Large octavo. Illustrated with 35 b/w photographs. Original gilt stamped green cloth (small amount of fading where jacket chipped, but better than most copies we have seen; light foxing at edges), light aqua endpapers. Dust jacket (price clipped; large chip front panel; lacks the front free endpaper). Very good. No signatures or bookplates.
Reviews
On Apr 9 2020, a reader said:
This was the last fishing book published while Zane Grey was alive, and it certainly shows his love of Australia, and the belief the seas surrounding her coast was excellent for fishing. This book contains the usual descriptive quality for which ZG is known, and also gives the reader his opinion on various subjects;and you are left with little doubt where he stands on any of them. The photographs of the many sharks and other fish he caught while on this trip are also quite fascinating. A well put together travelogue of places and activities one must visit when in the land down under. Whether you are a fisherman or not, this book will satisfy you as it is Zane Grey at his best, describing what he loved to do. Elsewhere, it has been reported he fished an average of 300 days a year. This may not be his best book on fishing, but one I'm sure you will enjoy.
