Three bestsellers in one delightful volume--at an unbeatable price! With his own particular brand of wry tongue-in-cheek humor, Patrick F. McManus spins riotously amusing slice-of-life stories of men, women, and their adventures in the great outdoors. The laughter will start right at the clever titles: A Fine and Pleasant Misery, Never Sniff a Gift Fish, and They Shoot Canoes, Don't They? Full of enjoyable exposés such as "All You Ever Wanted to Know About Live Bait but Were Afraid to Ask," "Psychic Powers of Outdoorsmen," and "The Night Grandma Shot Shorty," they'll give readers hours of pleasure. McManus takes the wildly unpredictable aspects of outdoorsmanship and reveals, with humor and wit, the pitfalls and triumphs of man (and woman) versus nature.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A compilation of three books,

This review is from: I Fish; Therefore, I Am: And Other Observations (Hardcover)
This book is a compilation of three other McManus books: "A Fine and Pleasant Misery," "Never Sniff a Gift Fish," and "They Shoot Canoes, Don't They?" It is not the same volume as the two-cassette release by the same name. The cassette edition by this name is a compilation of only a few Pat stories. Dedicated McManus readers may already have the three volumes contained in this book. It is, however, a great gift, and nice for those who haven't yet purchased the earlier books that make it up.

The Real outdoors,
By
This review is from: I Fish; Therefore, I Am: And Other Observations (Hardcover)
This compilation of three of McManus's books (Collected mainly from Field and Stream) is definitely a keeper. For anyone who loves the outdoors and even for those whose idea of roughing it is no room service (My category) this book collects tales of the wild as seen through McManus's warmly humorous style. Tales of his wayward youth, spent hunting and hanging out with the local mountain man Ne'er-do-well, camping disasters, and the long suffering women in his life, (Mother, grandmother, sister, wife) are all subjects that McManus's views with a wink and a smile. Read this one in small doses when you need a laugh, and while I am amazed that despite all this aggravation McManus and other outdoors people think these pursuits constitute a good time; at least McManus has turned these misadventures into a lot of laughs.
