A Very Pleasant surprise,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Atlantic Salmon: An Illustrated Natural History (Hardcover)
I saw this book in a fly tackle shop a month or so ago, took a quick look, and decided to buy it through Amazon (used,at a ridculously low price). My copy arrived today and, after leafing through it, I would extend kudos to the author, illustrator, and publisher. What a wonderful book!!!! A lavishly illustrated life history of the world's greatest freshwater game fish. Perhaps this book will help more humans realize what a marvelous natural treasure this fish is.
