If you are looking for a book that describes the basics tools and equipment along with some basic sets and animal information then you've found it. A Guide to Trapping is just what this book is. It's simple and does not over complicate trapping for your basic fur bearers. It's a good read and very informative and with good illustrations.

The book is much like the rest of the trapping books I have read; although the writer did add some humor that seems to missing from the lot of us that trap for a hobby to profession. In fact it got a chuckle out of me and my wife laughed about it too because his description of his reasons for trapping seemed match my personality rather well.

I haven't read this book by Jim Spencer yet. But I have to say that if this book is anything like every trapping article I've ever read by him, it is an excellent book. Spencer has always had a way of saying things that gets right to the point, yet is enjoyable to read. I've read dozens of his articles in trapping magazines over the years and thoroughly enjoyed each one.

This review is by Wesley Murphey, author of "Conibear Beaver Trapping In Open Water"; "Blacktail Deer Hunting Adventures"; "A Homeless Man's Burden"; and coming soon- "Trouble at Puma Creek."
