About This Item
Derrydale Press, 1993. Hardcover. New/No Dustjacket as Issued. New Old Stock. Just removed from publisher's original shrinkwrap. Quarto, xxvi + 251 pp., color frontis, + 4 color plates, b/w photos & drawings, maps, index. Big game fishing stories from various authors: Lynn Bogue Hunt, Ernest Hemingway, Van Campen Heilner, Kip Farrington, etc. A limited edition (2,500 copies) reprint of the original 1935 limited edition. Eugene Virginius Connett, 3rd, the founder and principal owner of Derrydale, was a publishing genius. After graduating from Princeton in 1912, he briefly joined the family beaver hat-making business before striking out on his own as a fledgling book publisher and printer in Manhattan in 1927. Connett sought out the most respected outdoor writers of his day and convinced them to become Derrydale authors. He combined their words with the output of equally well-regarded artists and illustrators whose drawings, paintings, and etchings were beautifully reproduced. This remarkably gifted publisher left behind a legacy of the greatest sporting book and printmaking enterprise in this country.
