Description
This collection of classic works on saltwater fishing, issued in standard binding and a numbered edition of 500, appeared over a stretch of several years beginning in the 1990s and continuing into the 21st century. Individual volumes were originally priced for subscribers to the series at $62.95. Although they vary in size (two are standard 6” x 9” while the remaining fourteen are 8” x 11”), the volumes are uniform in terms of the border decoration on the front cover and the spine of each book along with the lovely image of a leaping swordfish gracing the front. Many of the books are large format. They have all edges gilt, gold imprinting on the front and spine, marbled endpapers, and raised hubs. The 16 volumes of the set, in alphabetical order by author, are listed below. This set all carries the limitation number 214. All books are in fine to very fine condition except for bumped upper corners on one of the Afalo volumes.. A lovely and striking set, quite rare and that is especially the case with uniform numbers. The collection for $800 (less than the original cost).
